Karn Meats History
One of the Midwest's largest meat processors of raw and cooked custom meat products


Karn Meats was established as a retail shop in the 1920's, in the former "Central Market" in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The company moved to its current location in Columbus, Ohio on Taylor Avenue in 1948 and opened the slaughterhouse operation in the mid 1960's. Karn adapted its business to serve grocery stores and butcher shops that evolved throughout the country, replacing the once centralized marketplaces.

In 1971 the name of the company was changed to Karn Packing Co. and incorporated in Ohio. The processing of wholesale beef, specifically ground beef, was added to the business in 1983 to offer a greater selection to customers.

In 1990 the company expanded its meat processing plant; while continuing to service existing customers with boxed beef shipped in from the major packing companies throughout the Midwest. At the same time, Karn ceased use of its slaughterhouse facility.

The company's name was changed to Karn Meats, Inc, to promote the fact that it did more than kill and pack beef. A cooking facility was added in 1999 to further specialize in catering to the foodservice industry.

Karn Meats remains one of the Midwest's largest independent processors of raw meat products and producers of cooked meat products. The company services both the food service industry through national restaurant chains and distributors and the retail market through meat shipping to large grocery chains.
