Fresh, frozen and value-added chicken and pork products reach retailers, distributors and foodservice operators. The company operates across the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ireland and continental Europe, giving it a business with substantial operations outside its U.S. base.
A vertically integrated model covers breeding, hatching, growing, processing, preparation, packaging and sales. That operating chain is central to producing and distributing protein products across its markets.
Prepared foods and branded products expanded through the Kerry Consumer Foods Meats and Meals acquisition in the United Kingdom and Ireland. JBS controls the company through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries.
