The Texans are proud to let you know they have a new preferred sausage: Slovacek Sausage.
Now partners with H-Town's professional football team, Slovacek Sausage's rich history dovetails nicely with the Texans.
Slovacek Sausage is also the official sausage of the Houston Astros and Texas A&M Athletics.
You can read more about Slovacek Sausage's beginnings, and subsequent growth, in a description provided below by the company.
When Slovacek Sausage first opened its doors back in 1957, it was built on incredible taste and treating everyone like family. Everyone knew "Uncle" John Slovacek as their friendly neighbor who made the best sausage in town. He loved to see people enjoying the fruits of his labor, and after some encouragement from his biggest fans, John decided to make a career out of his famous sausage.
After many successful years under Uncle John, Tim Rabroker purchased the company and took the reins. While Slovacek's was under new ownership, as a kid, Tim and his siblings grew up working for the family business: Westphalia Market. So, meat processing definitely runs deep in this family's blood!
Tim and his staff continued to spread love for great sausage around the state. With over 40 years of experience in the meat industry, and a degree from Texas A&M University in Food Science and Technology, Tim and his team brought us to where we are today. Slovacek provides millions of pounds of sausage to customers in 35 states across the US and our distribution stretches as far as Aruba!
Over the last 25 years, Slovacek's has placed great emphasis on improved technology and the highest production standards. We take pride in combining our old-world heritage with the newest technology in production and traceability. From the moment ingredients enter our facility, we track them throughout the process. This allows traceability in seconds, as well as increased accountability at each phase. Our operators run state-of-the-art stuffing and packaging machines and are well versed on their information systems. This cutting-edge technology creates an opportunity for increased data analysis that aids us in providing a more consistent product than ever before.
While we have continually striven to make improvements over the years, the tried-and-true Czech-style recipes John Slovacek created so many years ago, have remained untouched. It is our hope that every time someone takes a bite of Slovacek Sausage, they are reminded of our deep roots, as they savor the most important moments in life – family BBQs at the lake, a bite at the ballpark with your college roommates, and the weeknight meals with everyone gathered in the kitchen. After all, Slovacek does mean "I love you" in sausage!"
