Edward Bleka, President and Chief Executive Officer

Ed Bleka left his job at a hand-cut butcher operation near the old Union Stockyards in Chicago in 1990 to strike out on his own, believing he could create a company that would better serve customers. Ed has grown Quantum Foods from his original operation of 15 people to one of the largest and most technologically-advanced protein processers in the world, now employing nearly 1,500 dedicated employees.

His story is a true example of the American dream, arriving in the United States from Poland in 1970, and building the business from the ground up with the help from family members, friends, and employees who believe in the Quantum Foods Mission, Values and Commitment.
