Seaboard (NYSEAMERICAN:SEB) Inc. is a diversified, privately held global agribusiness and transportation company headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. Founded in 1918, the company has grown from a modest commodity trading operation into four principal business segments: Pork, Commodity, Marine, and Power. Through these divisions, Seaboard is engaged in integrated production, processing and distribution of agricultural and food products, operation of ocean-going cargo vessels, and generation of electric power in select markets.
In its Pork segment, Seaboard Foods manages a fully integrated hog production and processing operation across multiple states in the U.S. This unit oversees every stage of production from breeding and feeding to slaughtering and further processing, supplying fresh pork products to major retail and foodservice customers throughout North America. The Commodity segment spans sugar milling and refining in the Dominican Republic, trading in sugar and related products, and marketing of feed ingredients such as soybean meal, molasses and cereal grains to livestock and aquaculture markets worldwide.
Seaboard’s Marine division owns and operates a modern fleet of Panamax and Supramax dry-bulk vessels, transporting fertilizer, grains, and other bulk commodities across Asia, South America, Europe and Africa. This fleet provides essential logistical support for Seaboard’s trading activities and serves third-party charterers. In the Power segment, the company invests in and operates energy facilities in Central America and the Caribbean, including hydroelectric and thermal plants that supply electricity to local grids under long-term power purchase agreements.
Over its century-long history, Seaboard has maintained a strong emphasis on family ownership and long-term stewardship, guided by the Ports family and a senior management team led by President and Chief Executive Officer Doyle P. Martin. Today, the company employs thousands of people in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia, upholding core values of safety, quality and sustainable growth as it serves customers in the global food, transportation and energy industries.
