Rite Stuff Foods is going to be represented at the AFFI-CON in Las Vegas from the February 29th. The business-to-business sessions, which are going to take place at the trade fair, will concentrate on in-depth and comprehensive discussions with business partners as the core element of the four-day conference. One special event will be the tribute to be paid to Rite Stuff Foods founder and long-time CEO Tom J. Madden. He is one of three leading personalities who will be honored at the event, in his case for his life’s work in the industry, which will be followed by him being inducted into the Frozen Food Hall of Fame. Rite Stuff Foods has been a member of the Frostkrone Food Group since 2019.
“We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Tom Madden on receiving this award. He can look back with pride on an amazing life’s work. It has been an honor for me to know him and to be able to work with him,” explains Frédéric Dervieux, CEO of Frostkrone Food Group.
Tom J. Madden’s career initially began back in 1961, when he started working at General Foods. In 1989, he founded Rite Stuff Foods and subsequently developed the company into a successful producer for potato specialties. Last year he sold the company to the Frostkrone Food Group and handed over his management role to John MacArthur.
With currently more than 230 members of staff at the company, Rite Stuff Foods is regarded as one of the leading producers of potato products in the USA. The company processes the original Idaho potato and provides their customers with an ever-increasing range of products, including twice-baked potatoes, potato skins, potato boats, as well as fried and stuffed peelings In recent times, Rite Stuff Foods also started to produce trendy finger foods and snacks such as, for example, the very popular Mozzarella Sticks and the fiery Chili Cheese Nuggets brands.
