Our History

It was an opportunity that a wise and experienced businessman couldn’t pass up. In 2004, backed by a group of business-savvy investors, Karl Schledwitz and Wes Jackson purchased from Sara Lee Corporation the regionally popular Circle B and King Cotton smoked meat brands—giving birth to Monogram Food Solutions.

As the proud parent company of one of the strongest packaged meat brands in the Memphis and Mid-South area, Monogram has focused on its commitment to quality and growth. 

Over the last seven years this commitment has led to acquisitions and facility expansion across the country.  Today Monogram is one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of licensed, co-packed and company-owned brands of meat snacks, and a major player in the U.S. meat industry.
 
As we reflect on our many successes, we also know there will be other opportunities in the future.  We at Monogram know our businesses well and we are committed to them. Although we’re still a young company, we have established a history of delivering what we promise: high quality products and strong financial growth.
