Outstanding Business of the Year in 1997
Nominated by Nishnabotna Valley Rural Electric Cooperative

OSI Industries (formerly Oakland Foods) processes fully-cooked sausage and round bacon for the food service industry.  The company opened in the summer of 1997 after renovating an old beef slaughter plant that had been sitting vacant since 1984.  OSI Industries (formerly Oakland Foods) has transformed this building into a modern 260,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility.  Today the food processor employs over 800 people in southwest Iowa.
