Standard Meat Company Co-Presidents Named 2025 Entrepreneurs of Excellence

We're incredibly proud to share that our co-presidents, Ben Rosenthal and Ashli Rosenthal Blumenfeld, have been named 2025 Entrepreneurs of Excellence by Fort Worth Inc. magazine.

Out of 42 finalists representing 33 companies, Ben and Ashli were among just 14 winners recognized at the ninth annual gala on November 13. Independent judges evaluated finalists on growth, ethical standards, perseverance, and community impact—areas where our fourth-generation leaders have truly excelled.

The judges described Ben and Ashli as "family business leaders who reimagined legacy models." That reimagining goes beyond facilities and capabilities. They've elevated the values passed down through four generations into a clear statement of purpose: "to inspire the connections and breakthroughs that ultimately feed our life." At Standard Meat, that purpose informs how we invest, innovate, and show up for our team, customers, and community every single day.

This honor adds to a remarkable year of recognition for Ben and Ashli, who were named EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 Southwest Award winners and National Award winners in the Family Business category.
