Head Country Food Products, Inc. of Ponca City, Oklahoma started with a family barbeque sauce recipe in 1947. Many years later, Danny Head bought the recipe and created additional products and flavors to sell nationally. The company has had success in selling its products domestically. Under the leadership of General Manager Paul Schatte, the company was eager to expand into global markets.

Today, the company’s export destinations include T-TIP partners Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Italy, Germany, and Spain and TPP partner Australia. As a result of TPP and T-TIP, Head Country Inc. could face lower tariffs and easier regulations, making its products more competitive abroad and benefitting its workers here at home.
