What Mopac does

Mopac, originally established in 1877 (corporate site states 1906) as Moyer Packing Company, is a Mid-Atlantic used cooking oil and tallow collection and recycling business headquartered at 741 Souder Road, Souderton, Pennsylvania. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of JBS Foods Group (JBS USA), one of the world's largest protein processors. It collects inedible animal by-products and waste cooking oil from food service establishments across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Washington DC, Northern Virginia, New York, and West Virginia, then transports and reprocesses the material into bio-diesel feedstock, cosmetic-grade tallow, and animal feed ingredients. Mopac states it recycles approximately 58 million pounds of used vegetable oils annually, alongside 50+ million gallons of water.

The company's core offering is a scheduled collection service with a "set it and forget it" partnership model. Mopac supplies specialized containers ranging from 55-gallon drums to 400-gallon indoor and outdoor tanks, plus mobile grease disposal units, which it embeds at customer sites. Revenue is generated through collection service fees combined with a rebate program in which customers receive market-based compensation for their used cooking oil, priced using the Jacobsen Report as a transparent commodity benchmark. An adjacent Fleet Services business provides truck and trailer repair, D.O.T. inspections, and preventive maintenance, primarily serving local fleet operators.

Mopac runs a direct field-sales model through local account representatives who proactively engage food service operators. Distribution channels include its website, phone (866-346-3288), and outbound field outreach. With a workforce of 251–500 employees and over a century of operating history, Mopac maintains a strong regional brand position in the rendering and recycling industry, with inclusion on the National Renderers Association partner list serving as third-party industry validation.

Others

• Neste: Global renewable diesel leader with major UCO feedstock demand. Adjacent downstream customer; represents a partnership opportunity for Mopac's collected UCO rather than a competitive threat.
• Diamond Green Diesel (Darling/Valero JV): Major North American renewable diesel producer and a key downstream offtaker for UCO. Downstream customer/partnership opportunity for renderers like Mopac rather than a direct competitor.
• Renewable Energy Group (now part of Chevron): Renewable diesel producer that consumes UCO as feedstock. Adjacent value-chain participant rather than a competitor; Mopac could supply REG/Chevron's growing renewable diesel demand.

Direct peers

• Baker Commodities: Major US renderer specializing in used cooking oil collection, tallow, and animal proteins. Closely comparable business model with similar customer base (restaurants, food processors) and downstream end-markets.
• Griffin Industries: Rendering company (now part of Darling Ingredients) historically operating across the Eastern US. Comparable in rendering and UCO collection services with similar products and customers.
• Valley Proteins: Privately held rendering company based in the Mid-Atlantic/Southeastern US. Direct competitor in used cooking oil collection, tallow rendering, and animal protein recycling, serving overlapping foodservice customers in similar geographies.
• Mahoney Environmental: Specialized used cooking oil collection and grease trap services company. Direct competitor in Mopac's core UCO collection line, with overlapping restaurant/foodservice customer profiles.

Regional players

• American Proteins: Rendering company focused on the Southeastern US (Georgia-based). Similar rendering/UCO collection activities but operates in a different regional market, making it an adjacent rather than direct competitor.
• SARIA Group: European leader in rendering and UCO collection. Comparable business model and end-products (biodiesel, animal feed, tallow), but geographically distinct from Mopac's Mid-Atlantic focus.

Broad incumbents

• Darling Ingredients: The world's largest publicly traded rendering company (Diamond Green Diesel JV with Valero). Directly comparable to Mopac in rendering, used cooking oil collection, and tallow processing, but operating at global scale across multiple continents.
