GREELEY, COLO. — Colorado Premium announced the opening of a new sous vide protein processing facility on Feb. 5. The 175,000-square-foot facility will be the company’s first to specialize in sous vide and its third processing plant.

“Our new facility, with capabilities around searing, par frying and sous vide cooking for all protein types, provides us multiple options to satisfy our customers’ needs,” said Zack Henderson, chief revenue officer at Colorado Premium.

Located at 2400 West 29th Street in Greeley, Colo., the new plant sits on a 20-acre site that Colorado Premium purchased in 2022. Once fully operational, the plant will employ up to 275 workers.

Colorado Premium noted that the location allows for future expansion when needed.

“Sous vide cooking has increased in popularity as restaurant operators seek to consistently deliver high-quality, great tasting products at scale with less reliance on backhouse labor,” said Dan LaFleur, president of Colorado Premium. “We have built our business by leveraging our culinary and manufacturing expertise to support our customers’ growth initiatives and this facility provides the capacity to do that for many years to come.”

Colorado Premium’s headquarters and main production facility are also located in Greeley. Its third processing facility operates in Denver. In total, the company employs over 700 workers.
