US meat company Excel Corp has completed the acquisition of Taylor Companies: Taylor Packing Co. Inc., Taylor By-Products, Inc. and related companies.

Excel’s intention to buy Taylor was announced in November, 2001. At that time the reason given for the move was that Taylor’s Wyalusing plant could help supply raw material for Excel's case-ready meats plant in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Kenneth Taylor Jr. and Thomas Taylor, third generation managers of the family business, will retire from the business.
