“This acquisition is a perfect fit for Pilgrim’s Pride. The additional capacity provided by this plant will increase the growth in our prepared foods division, which is one of the fastest-growing and most profitable segments in our industry,” said O.B.

“The Bossier City plant also integrates extremely well geographically with our existing infrastructure.
