The New Jersey Food Processors Association (NJFPA) is an organization of manufacturers of food and agricultural products, and suppliers of materials and services to this industry, joined together to promote best practices, share information and expand the industry in the Garden State, said Sam Pipitone, president of the NJFPA, and president of F&S Produce in Rosenhayn, NJ.

The association has been updated with a new logo, website and bylaws, and we will be offering new programs and services in 2010 that will provide significant benefits to the state's food processing industry.
