 PROFILE
Think of Tyson Foods as an 800-pound chicken -- it's the nation's #1 poultry producer. The company breeds, processes, and markets chickens and Cornish game hens, as well as hogs (although chicken accounts for most of its sales). It produces tortillas and chips (Mexican Original) and animal feeds. Tyson sells its products in more than 70 countries, with food service customers accounting for nearly half of sales. Tyson tried to terminate an agreement to buy #1 US beef processor IBP in March 2001, but IBP later won a lawsuit to enforce the deal. The purchase of IBP will make Tyson the top meat processor in the US. Senior chairman Don Tyson, son of the founder, controls nearly 90% of the company's voting power.
