Archer Plans Vernon, California, Production Operations

05/12/2025
Meat snack brand Archer plans to establish production operations in Vernon, California. The project is expected to create 200 jobs.

The new facility will approximately double the company’s overall manufacturing capacity and will be primarily focused on producing its extensive lineup of meat sticks. Operations are scheduled to begin in September 2025.

"The explosive growth of our meat stick products made increasing our production capabilities essential, and doing this in Los Angeles was an intentional choice," said Eugene Kang, founder and CEO of Archer. "Our founding principle has always been that supply chain ownership is crucial for maximizing margins and ensuring quality control, as evidenced by our jerky business. This expansion represents our next strategic step to vertically integrate our fastest growing product line."

Archer’s product line includes grass-fed Beef Jerky, all-natural Turkey Jerky, Zero-Sugar Jerky, Meat Sticks in 1oz and mini sizes, and Smoked Sausages.
