General information

Smithfield Foods is the largest pig and pork producer in the world. It raises pigs and processes pork across multiple continents, then sells packaged meats under various branded labels to retailers and consumers. The company operates more than 500 farms in the United States and contracts with about 2,000 independent farms. It is based in Smithfield, Virginia.

Joseph W. Luter Sr. and Joseph W. Luter Jr. founded Smithfield in 1936. WH Group, a Hong Kong company, bought it in 2013 for $4.72 billion and still owns 88% today, meaning strategy and investment decisions run through a parent company on the other side of the world. Smithfield employs about 50,200 people and generates roughly $14 billion in revenue a year. Historically, the median salary is ~$102,500. Smithfield Foods is an H-1B sponsor.1
