Rocky S. Frazier

Using the structure from an old Tyson facility, Mr. Frazier designed and built a state of the art plant for the purpose of 2^nd processing boneless chicken for the instructional marketplace. Investors convinced Mr. Frazier to sell this facility to a company now known as Alatrade Foods. Alatrade Foods now owns and operate three facilities after the profitable beginnings created by the purchase of Mr. Frazier’s first venture.

Mr. Frazier, in addition to growing the business at Fabco, built his second poultry processing facility in 2002. The venture created a much bigger challenge. Mr. Frazer converted an old Arrow Plant used for the manufacturer of shirts into a modern and efficient processing facility that sized and further processed boneless chicken. As in the case of the first facility, the profitability of this plant created an opportunity to sell this facility to a group of investors. The second facility is owned and operates as Sunrise Foods. 

In 2006, Mr. Frazier’s vision was to create Fresh Direct Processing., the most food safe and cost efficient further processing facility in the industry. Intensive design, program planning and construction concluded in 2006.
