Featured Speaker

Michael Kiolbassa
President - Kiolbassa Smoked Meats

Join the San Antonio Manufacturers Association for our November Membership Luncheon as we welcome Michael Kiolbassa, President of Kiolbassa Smoked Meats, for a conversation on leadership, culture, and growing a family-owned manufacturing business.

A San Antonio native, Michael began his career in his family’s sausage business in 1987. Through a strong commitment to values-based leadership and company culture, he has helped transform Kiolbassa Smoked Meats from a small family business into one of the fastest-growing meat brands in the United States.

Under his leadership, the company has been recognized by Forbes as a Small Giant and named a Top Workplace in San Antonio for six consecutive years. Michael has also been a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and received Trinity University’s Daryl Waldron Business Leadership Award.

A sought-after speaker on values-based leadership and family business leadership, Michael brings a uniquely local manufacturing perspective and a powerful story of growth, culture, and staying true to the values that built the business.

Join fellow manufacturers, business leaders, and industry partners for an opportunity to connect, learn, and gain valuable leadership insights from one of San Antonio’s own manufacturing success stories.
