The Texas Food Processors Association (TFPA) is a non-profit trade
association representing companies engaged in the processing of food products
and includes companies that provide them with
ingredients, equipment, materials and services.
This Association was organized in August of 1943 by five canners in East
Texas under the name East Texas Canners Association, Inc. Four years
later, in an effort to broaden membership, the name was changed to Southwest
Canners Association, Inc. As the Association grew in numbers, so did the
diversity of types of processors. It was no longer strictly a canning
membership, but rather a cross section of companies processing a variety of food
products. Therefore, in July of 1970 it was decided by the membership that
Texas Food Processors Association would be a more appropriate name for the
organization.
