About

Swift Prepared Foods is at the intersection of heritage and innovation. We are proud of our history, but not yet satisfied. Swift Prepared Foods is a consumer packaged goods (CPG) company focusing on protein-centric prepared foods in both private label and branded offerings.

Nearly 150 years ago, Gustavus Swift founded Swift & Company, which was strategically located in Chicago. He was a true pioneer whose passion and innovative spirit transformed the meat industry, including the introduction of the refrigerated railway car to more effectively transport meat to customers and consumers across the United States. This commitment to transformation mirrors that of Swift Prepared Foods today – a prepared foods company on a journey to realize the full potential of protein.

Swift & Company Timeline

  • Gustavus started at only 16 as the slaughterer, packager and distributor one cow at a time
  • In the following years, an innovative strategy established by Gustavus Swift elevated Swift & Co. to a level occupied by few brands as it created its own sales channels and eliminated intermediators, allowing it to reach consumers directly
