PROFILE |
 |
At Townsend family picnics, there are always enough chicken legs to go around. Townsends produces 12 million pounds of chicken each week. Its whole birds, parts, boneless breasts, and roasters are sold to major grocery chains and food service distributors in the US. John G. Townsend Jr. founded Townsends in the 1890s as a lumber business; his grandson is chairman and CEO. The first vertically integrated poultry company in the US, Townsends has operations in Arkansas, Delaware, and North Carolina. Exports of frozen chicken, particularly to Asia, account for 20% of its sales.
