Premium Standard Farms, a unit of Smithfield Foods’ hog production subsidiary, Murphy-Brown, announced it has changed its name to Murphy-Brown of Missouri, LLC, effective immediately.
Adopting the Murphy-Brown label will better communicate the nature of Premium Standard's business and the role the company plays in the larger Smithfield Foods organization. The change will present a more unified message for how the company is supporting Smithfield Foods' brands, creating value for investors, employees and other stakeholders, the company said in a news release.
“We are solidifying our position as a provider in Smithfield Foods' integrated supply chain, thereby providing increased career opportunities while continuing to be an economic engine in north Missouri," said Michael Rainwater, general manager of Murphy-Brown of Missouri.
Murphy-Brown of Missouri employs approximately 1,100 people in north central Missouri.
