Plumrose USA

What Plumrose USA does

Plumrose USA is a Downers Grove, Illinois-based manufacturer of prepared meat products, operating with more than 80 years of history in the US protein market. The company distributes its products through consumer retail, food service/hospitality, and direct food-processing channels, serving both end consumers and institutional buyers. Its branded sub-portfolio includes Trio Salami Sams, MKP Applewood, and JB Bites, positioned within the broader prepared-foods category.

Plumrose USA sits within the JBS Foods corporate family, a globally diversified protein producer headquartered in the United States. The parent's operating footprint spans 109 US locations and additional sites across Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Mexico, and Europe, supporting a multi-protein portfolio (beef, pork, poultry, and prepared foods). Plumrose USA is listed as a private entity founded in 1932, with the parent JBS S.A. operating as a publicly traded conglomerate. The relationship provides Plumrose access to vertical integration from farm through consumer, multi-channel distribution, and shared sustainability infrastructure (including the jbsesg.com reporting platform).

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed for Plumrose USA. Pricing is not transparent, and no product-level price points, customer counts, or contract values are available in the source data. Recent strategic activity is dominated by parent-level capital deployment — including a $150 million expansion at the Cactus Beef Production Facility, multi-state investment projects in Texas, Iowa, and Georgia, and operational restructuring across the network — which signals ongoing capacity and footprint investment across the US protein value chain that Plumrose benefits from as part of the broader portfolio.
