I recently had the chance to talk with Heriberto Valle, the HR Director from AbiMar Foods, and let me tell you, they are not just hiring, they are actively looking for people who want to build a long-term career right here in Abilene.

A Texas Company With Deep Roots in Abilene

AbiMar Foods has been part of the Abilene community since 1992, originally operating as Fehr Foods before becoming what it is today. Now owned by Grupo Nutresa, one of the largest food companies in South America, AbiMar has grown into one of the biggest cookie and cracker manufacturers not just in Abilene but in all of Texas.

From right here in the Big Country, their products are shipped across the United States and even internationally.
