Perdue Farms Incorporated

About Perdue Farms Incorporated

PERDUE® is the #1 brand of fresh chicken in the Eastern United States. Ranked third in sales in the poultry industry and among the top 12 largest U.S. grain companies, Perdue Farms is a leading international food and agriculture business providing quality products and services worldwide. PERDUE® is what is known as a vertically integrated agribusiness. That means our company is involved in every step of the supply chain - from eggs and feed ingredients all the way through processing, distribution and marketing. This vertical integration enables us to ensure the highest level of quality.

Privately held and family-run for three generations, the company employs more than 22,000 associates and partners with more than 2,400 independent farm families -- all who share in the commitment to quality that has guided the company since its founding in 1920. The company is headquartered in Salisbury, MD and was founded by Arthur W. Perdue as a table-egg poultry farm. Frank Perdue joined his father's company in 1939 as the third full time employee. He developed the company into an industry leader and launched a television and radio advertising campaign, which made the PERDUE® brand a household name, as well as a market-share leader. Jim Perdue, Frank's son, became chairman of the board in 1991 and now also serves as advertising spokesperson.

At Perdue Farms Incorporated our success both domestically and internationally is a result of the right mix of tradition and innovation, with the right team of people. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life with great food and agricultural products. By staying true to our values of integrity, honesty, and a constant quest for quality, we are confident that our customers around the globe receive the highest quality products and services.
