Someone asked yesterday, how Wal-Mart would get RF Tray Lidding if Reiser have an Exclusive Licence for USA and Canada. After long thought and a bit of research, I think Reiser may only have exclusivity on the manufacturer level, and that retail is a separate issue, and I think Stanelco would have sussed that out before giving Reiser the licence.
Also Reiser provide machines for Wal-Mart anyway !!!!
Wal-Mart's entry into case-ready meats dates back to March 1996. Wal-Mart meat executives and representatives of one of its ground beef suppliers traveled to the United Kingdom to observe the production and marketing of case-ready meat prepared with a process known as modified air packaging (MAP). Robert Reiser & Company Inc., Canton, MA, developed this process. Today, case-ready drives Wal-Mart's ground beef and muscle-meat merchandising.
