Smithfield
Those who love to add pork to their meals are probably firm fans of Smithfield Foods. The business started in 1936, thanks to Joseph W. Luter and his boy. The father and son team would take Smithfield on to become a leader in American meat supply, with over five-hundred farms. The WH Group purchased the business for $4.72 billion in 2013. That year saw the priciest acquisition a Chinese business had yet to have secured within America. Smithfield, Virginia is where you can locate the business’ HQ, but the strings are pulled over at Louhe, Henan.
