Smithfield Foods acquires US beef packer
23/04/2001
The US meat packer Smithfield Foods last week announced that it is to acquire the beef specialist Moyer Packing Company of Souderton Pennsylvania.
With annual sales of around $600 million, Moyer is the largest packer in the eastern United States and the US’s ninth largest packer. The 120 year-old company’s operations include beef processing, fabricating and further processing, as well as hide processing and rendering – activities that will complement Smithfield's own background in pig processing.
