From hatcheries to processing facilities, Peco Foods is a U.S. leader in poultry production, producing more than 28 million pounds of ready-to-cook chicken each week for retail grocer, food service, and international markets. With operations spanning the southern U.S. from large processing facilities to rural sites in small towns, Peco’s vision is to be a world-class food company. That vision requires more than operational excellence. It demands a resilient technology and security foundation that keeps pace with growth, safeguards critical infrastructure, and supports every employee, anywhere. For Mario Manzano, Peco Foods’ IT Infrastructure, Security and Collaboration Manager, these requirements quickly became high-stakes challenges.
