"Formax^® has been instrumental in helping the OSI^® Group service our customers around the globe for over 30 years."

—David McDonald    Senior Vice President    OSI® Group

Leadership, innovation and strong partnerships are core values at the OSI Group. And they have been for nearly 100 years. This family meat market went from service “around the corner” to leadership “around the world” as one of the largest, privately-held food companies on the planet.

“We believe our success depends on delivering service and value beyond the products we deliver,” says McDonald. “Formax^® has that same attitude. In terms of technical service and product development, Formax^® has been a great partner globally.”

Today’s OSI Group continues to stand for quality, excellence and pleasing customers. OSI doesn’t believe in cutting corners to cut costs. Instead, they find the most cost-effective and reliable techniques for producing the products their customers require.

Formax^® forming systems deliver the innovation, product consistency and cost-effective performance OSI demands. So whether they are forming premium hamburger patties, breaded chicken strips or tasty 3D ribs, Formax^® technology is there to deliver the same product and value worldwide.

“Formax^® has provided the OSI Group with the forming technology and support we’ve needed to grow throughout the world,” adds McDonald. "Whatever the marketplace, whatever the infrastructure, whatever the geography, we must be consistent and reliable, " continues McDonald. “The reliability of Formax^® forming machines has enabled us to expand with confidence to every continent on the globe.”

Fast and Faster

The OSI Group has only two working speeds: fast and faster. And they know, in today’s competitive world, the speed of getting to market can make all the difference.

McDonald says OSI thinks of itself “as an extension of our customers.” As a world leader, Formax^® has the combination of technology and services required by OSI’s 75 global manufacturing facilities. Formax^® knows the cost of downtime and is totally committed to keeping OSI’s operations up and going with 24/7/365 technical support. Reliable and efficient operations are also ensured through a combination of annual customer support visits, operator maintenance training and 24-hour phone support.

In the end, the OSI Group and Formax^® have shared a global focus on consistent performance, leadership and growth. Together both companies are constantly enhancing their capabilities with newer and more exciting products for today’s customers — a collaborative effort improving the quality and safety of food products worldwide.
