The 10,000 sq ft Customer Experience Center was created with customers and consumers in mind.  It encompasses sustainable features such as energy efficient HVAC units with gas heat and setback thermostats and motion sensory control lights where applicable.  As well as a welcoming environment for consumer focus groups and taste panels. The exterior of the modern building features professional landscaping with outside meeting capabilities.  Inside you will find a reception area, complete with a history/memorabilia wall of the history of Clemens Food Group.  The second floor is designed with sleek offices, meeting rooms, a high-end demonstration kitchen and an overlook right into the bacon production room. When visiting, you could find yourself overhearing a Pork Experts Class, in which the technical experts describe the features and benefits of the primal pieces. The corporate chef then describes the finished product and provides various menu or recipe concepts. The demonstration kitchen is an infusion of a commercial and residential kitchen and is complete with a variety of appliances for creative food preparation, such as a deep fryer, char broiler and even a rotisserie.  Additionally, an audio visual system is in place for live recordings or presentations. Clemens Food Group is based in Hatfield, Pennsylvania and is the leader in customer solutions, creatively serving all channels of the food industry.

With the integration of these companies and services, CFG has developed a streamlined, solutions-based business model for their customers in all aspects of food industry channels. Customers can now look to CFG as a business partner that offers solutions for strengthening and growing their business. The formation of CFG centered around one goal - to provide solutions and expertise that go far beyond providing products and services. "We have to be more than products and prices. CFG will be actively helping our partners identify and solve problems-some of which, they may not even know they have," says Doug Clemens, President of the Clemens Food Group. "We are positioned to help our customers grow and be profitable for decades to come in the food industry market place". CFG can now offer their partners a full range of integrated services including hog production, pork manufacturing, cold storage, and complete logistical and transportation services. One example of their expanded services is their ability to facilitate the transportation of not only CFG products, but also customer or third-party products via a 260 unit fleet of trucks and trailers to anywhere in the country-as well as cold storage capabilities in their 250,000+ sq. ft. facility. The CFG R&D and Customer Experience groups are uniquely designed to serve customers at the highest level and are backed by highly skilled teams and a 1.2 million sq. ft. state-of-the-art processing site. CFG is confident that their new alignment provides opportunities and solutions for customers that will better allow partners to grow and prosper. "We are thinking outside the product and price box and are eager to help our customers overcome the hurdles and challenges that they are facing," concludes Clemens.
