Swift & Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swift & Company is a meat packaging company founded by Gustavus Franklin Swift. It is based in Greeley, Colorado. In December 2006, six of the company’s meat-packing facilities in Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Iowa, and Minnesota were raided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, resulting in the apprehension of 1,282 illegal immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Peru, Laos, Sudan, and Ethiopia, and nearly 200 of them criminally charged after a ten month investigation into identity theft.
Swift & Co.’s competitors include Cargill, Smithfield Packing Company, and Tyson Foods.
