Country Boy Meat Stix recently announced today that it will move its company headquarters to Hartwell, Ga., bringing 50 new jobs to the region within the year. The company will invest $2 million in a manufacturing facility for its meat stick products.
Country Boy chose Georgia for its new headquarters after a multi-state search, and will move into an existing 64,000-square-foot building, formerly the Cal-Main location, in the Highway 29 Industrial Park in Hart County. The company will retain its current California location and work force.
“Locating in Georgia will help us establish a presence on the East Coast, and give us easier access to those markets,” said company president Sharon Smedley. “We are very pleased with the ready work force and warm welcome we found in Georgia. We are truly looking forward to working in Hartwell and building a company that fosters a sense of pride for the community.”
Country Boy Meat Stix, founded in California in 2004 by Doug and Sharon Smedley, uses only real meat and high-quality spices in its product, not fillers or animal by-products. Each meat stick is individually wrapped and vacuum sealed. The company sells its product to retailers, vendors and independent distributors.
