Sanderson Farms

American chicken manufacturer Sanderson Farms is situated in Laurel, Mississippi. With 13.65 million chickens produced each week, it is the third largest poultry producer in the US as well as one of the largest manufacturing companies in USA. Its products are available in grocery shops around the country, and the business claims that its chicken has a high protein content. It has processing facilities scattered throughout the US's southern region. People are employed by Sanderson Farms as trainees, part-time employees, or full-time employees. Employees can do tasks like operating machinery and running laboratories, or they might take on managerial responsibilities to monitor the manufacturing process.

Common shares of Sanderson Farms, Inc., which was incorporated in 1955 and made its initial public offering in 1987, are traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the ticker SAFM. The success of Sanderson Farms, Inc. as a successful manufacturer, marketer, and provider of first-rate services to the food sector allows it to maximize stockholder value. In 2022, Newsweek lists Sanderson Farms as one of the nation's most responsible corporations.

The company, which now has more than 17,000 workers and 1,000 independent family farmers, continues to be a family-oriented enterprise, much like the feed and seed store where it initially set up shop more than 75 years ago. Sanderson Farms is still a family business in almost every meaning of the word even with annual sales of more than $3.6 billion and a processing capacity of more than 13.65 million chickens per week. Today, under the astute leadership of Joe Frank Jr., the business maintains an enviable position of strength in the market because of decades of arduous work and a long history of commercial acumen.
