PCEDC members had the opportunity to learn about one of our very own Platte County businesses. KC Sausage greeted our members with a sampling of their products as they walked through the doors. During the visit the CEO shared the history of the company and future plans. KC Sausage opened in 2009 with 18 employees and has since grown to 175 employees.
The company has embarked on a partnership with another Platte County business, Smithfield. KC Sausage is currently in the process of adding a blast freezer & new production line. Once all four of the production lines are up and running there will be approximately 210 employees (production, office, & management). They currently produce 35 million lbs of product for 3 main customers: Wal-Mart, Save-A-Lot, and Farmland. We appreciate KC Sausage opening their doors to our members and excited to see the expansion in Platte County.
