New owners take on old problems at Swift
Tagged: Brazil, Colorado, RaidsPosted on: December 12th, 2007
A year after the well-orchestrated raid on Swift & Co. meatpacking plants by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, operations at the company’s plants have returned to normal.
But it’s not the same company it was when the raids were conducted Dec. 12, 2006.
In July, it became JBS-Swift following the sale of the company to JBS-S.A. of Brazil, a move that made the new company the largest beef processor in the world in terms of slaughter capacity and actual slaughter. The headquarters of JBS-Swift remains in Greeley.”*
