Charleston, SC - Struthers Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Elite Visions, Inc. are pleased to announce the completion of their meat distribution facility and the planned launch of an E-Commerce website.

The distribution facility, located in Waukon, IA, will serve as the first distribution center for the Struthers, Inc.
