- Description: When Smithfield Foods waddles up to the trough, all the other porkers stand back. Fat from acquisitions, the company is the world's largest hog producer and pork processor. Its products include fresh pork and processed meats sold under the Fleetwood, John Morrell, Lykes, Patrick Cudahy, Schneider, and Smithfield Premium names. It distributes across the US and to more than 25 other countries, and it has made major moves into Canada, France, Mexico, and Poland. In a steady effort to diversify, the company has built up its turkey, beef, and prepared foods operations through acquisitions. Director Wendell Murphy and his family own 15% of the company.
