The Smithfield Companies, Inc.
 PROFILE
Some might call The Smithfield Companies a ham, while others might say it is just plain nuts. The firm processes and markets specialty food products ranging from frozen barbecue, cashews, and peanuts to those famous Smithfield and country hams (including Amber, Joyner, Pruden, and Red Eye brands). Smithfield Companies' frozen foods are sold through the food service and retail industries; its specialty foods are sold through gourmet food stores and catalogs as well. Its Williamsburg Foods unit processes nuts, and its handful of The Peanut Shop stores sell, well ... you figure it out. The firm has been acquired by pork processor Smithfield Foods; it will continue to operate as a stand-alone subsidiary.
