“Butterball thanks Mr. Shoemaker for his valuable service and for successfully guiding the company through last year’s change in ownership as well as his role in making the company what it is today,” said Walter Pelletier, president of Maxwell Farms, and board member of Butterball.
Until a permanent successor is named, current members of the Butterball board will assume CEO responsibilities, the company added.
“Butterball is a strong growing company with a bright future,” said Steven Bresky, president and CEO of minority-owner Seaboard Corp. “During this transition we do not anticipate major changes in any areas of production or employment. It is business as usual.”
North Carolina-based Butterball is the largest producer of turkey products in the US.
