Founded in the United States in 1936, it is an enterprise specializing in the research and development, production and sales of ham sausages, bacon and other meat products

Smithfield has its roots in the beautiful Pagan River in Virginia, USA, a small town known as the "home of delicious food": Smithfield, the world-famous ham capital.

Founded in 1936 by the Joseph Luter family, Smithfield Foods has been passed down from generation to generation, starting with curing and selling ham, and today it has become a world-renowned pork food company and a large multinational corporation.

All Smithfield's saga began with a pig. Piglets are grown in the lush foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the turquoise waters of the Pagan River, where they are cared for and scientifically raised, laying the foundation for Smithfield's high quality.

From the moment Smithfield was founded, Smithfield's products were endowed with a unique flavor and exacting quality. That's why Smithfield has earned a loyal audience of consumers around the world.
