Porcine Supplier
SSR is the ideal porcine supplier for clients seeking fast and reliable delivery of high-quality porcine materials and products, sourced, sized and trimmed to their specifications. As part of Johnsonville, one of the nation’s largest suppliers of pork products, we’re able to leverage economies of scale and organizational know-how and efficiencies to create dependable, cost-effective solutions for any commercial or research requirement.
Porcine Partner
If your company seeks a streamlined supply chain of customized porcine materials, SSR can serve as an upstream extension of your business. We’ll save you time and money by preparing materials to exacting specifications at our own controlled facilities. We’re able to draw upon resources and expertise from across the Johnsonville organization to provide consistent on-time delivery of materials processed to optimize your efficiency, in the volumes you require to accelerate your business growth. We begin by thoroughly understanding your application, specifications, and standard operating procedure (SOP). We’ll then work with you to create a protocol for harvesting, processing, preservation, and shipping that precisely aligns with your business needs. Our personnel, trained in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), are skilled at implementing highly specific preparation steps to the most rigorous standards.
Academic Research
SSR is experienced in meeting the specific needs of academic and product-development researchers for high-quality porcine tissues and products. Because no single type of source animal is ideal for all research applications, we work closely with researchers to identify and source animals to optimize their applications. Depending on the need, we’re able to provide materials sourced from a wide variety of animals in general-population, select or closed herd programs, and can engage directly with producers to establish vertical integration and full traceability. Procurement specialists at our harvest sites work in controlled rooms to extract, trim, and assemble materials precisely to client specification. Materials can be processed to meet highly specific SOP requirements, including bioburden reduction, material debridement, dissection, arterial/vein preservation related to organs, and viral inactivation. SSR is dedicated to advancing research. We welcome the chance to participate in advisory boards, planning sessions and/or roundtables aimed at exploring new possibilities for leveraging porcine materials for next-generation research or product development.
Joint Ventures
With support from Johnsonville, SSR actively seeks new business opportunities and long-term partnerships focused on the innovative use of porcine tissues and products. Through 70 years as an industry leader in pork products, we’ve learned that the products from these animals are uniquely adaptable to a nearly limitless range of valuable applications. We’re eager to explore new ventures in any segment, including industrial, consumer, medical, pharmaceutical, or animal health and nutrition. As a privately held company with an entrepreneurial culture, we have the resources and flexibility to invest in promising business models. We offer partners in-depth expertise in animal sourcing, quality control, logistics and conformance to industry and regulatory standards, and have the organizational and marketing strength to bring finished products to market.
