We do it all.
That is the motto of Ray’s Own Brand owners Ray and Nina-Marie Cattaneo.
From slicing jerky and grinding sausage to advancing sales and marketing, our fearless leaders have a hand in everything we pack, ship and serve to thousands of happy customers throughout the West.
Ray got his start in the meat business when he was nine years old, working for his family’s company in San Luis Obispo. He knows his way around a cutting board, crafting tasty delicacies that go way beyond your average «snack» foods. He’s also master of the barbecue and a top-notch caterer. Lucky are the party guests when Ray is manning the grill.
If you had only one word to describe Nina-Marie, it would be «persistent.» Of course, we have many more: «lively,» «nimble,» and «a heck of a lot of fun.» But, it’s mainly her persistence that landed Ray’s Own Brand a distribution contract with one of the nation’s giants, McLane, and some juicy shelf space in dozens of supermarkets and convenience stores.
Started in 2003, Ray’s Own Brand is headquartered in a modern plant Ray designed and built himself — no surprise, right? It sits next to their lovely home surrounded by blooming roses in the heart of Edna Valley wine country.
As the company has grown, Ray and Nina-Marie have added four employees, but continue to work side-by-side day and night. «We’re both Virgos,» Nina-Marie says. «We don’t sit and we don’t sleep.»…
