North American Meat Institute history
North American Meat Institute company history timeline
The American Meat Institute was founded in Chicago, IL in 1906 just after passage of the Federal Meat Inspection Act, one of the first United States laws to set federal food processing standards.
In 1919, the organization became the Institute of American Meat Packers (IAMP). Among the issues IAMP handled were fluctuating livestock and meat prices and calls for investigations of livestock marketing.
In 1922, the Institute launched new efforts in scientific research and industry education.
By 1940, the Institute had expanded its meat promotion program to include consumer advertising.
In 1942, shortly after the American entrance into WWII, the government imposed price controls and rationing of meat products without recognizing the special value-added service purveyors give to their customers.
National Meat Association had a similarly transformative history. Its first predecessor organization, Western States Meat Packers Association, was formed in 1946.
These two would join together in 1982 to become the Western States Meat Association.
Finally, in 1995, out of a merger of WSMA with the Mountain/Plains Meat Association, National Meat Association was formed.
In March 1996, the association changed its name to North American Meat Processors Association to reflect that it had begun to serve members in Canada, Mexico, and other countries.
The North American Meat Association formed in 2012 from the merger of the National Meat Association and the North American Meat Purveyors.
The North American Meat Institute formed in 2015 from the merger of the American Meat Institute and the North American Meat Association.
