Our Story

For over 80 years, the Bonahoom family has been recognized as pioneers in the meat industry,
starting with veal and lamb production, handling carcass beef and then embracing the advent of
boxed beef. As the industry evolved, so did Wolverine, and the company now offers ground beef,
portion-control steaks, veal, lamb, pork, poultry, frozen seafood and specialty products.

Today, Wolverine Packing Company is the leader in protein solutions with a state-of-the-art
program that uses the highest quality ingredients, most reliable packaging and relentless food
safety standards.

Understated, but influential, the Wolverine Team focuses on the success of their customers as the
key to their own success.
