Our history

What began as a one-magazine start-up, has grown into a formidable multi-media company poised for growth.

In 1993 editorial director and publisher, Mark Lefens, sought to fill a void in the meat industry for more targeted editorial that served the information needs of North American meat and poultry processors. Enlisting the prowess of publishing veteran and start-up strategist, Jim Franklin, and other editorial and sales professionals from his former company, they formed Marketing & Technology Group, known today as MTG Media Group.
