Description: JBS JBS

JBS N.V. is a Netherlands-based, globally diversified food company that processes and markets animal proteins, including beef, pork, lamb, and poultry, while also producing prepared foods and operating ancillary businesses in leather, collagen, hygiene and beauty products, metal packaging, and biodiesel. The company sells a wide portfolio of brands, including Seara, Pilgrims, Moy Park, Friboi, and Swift, and was founded in 1953 with headquarters in Amstelveen.

As a major player in the Packaged Foods & Meats sub-industry of Consumer Staples, JBS operates a vertically integrated business model that spans livestock sourcing, slaughtering, processing, and the production of branded value-added products, which helps it capture margin across the supply chain. Its diversification into byproducts such as leather, collagen, and biodiesel reflects a common industry approach of monetizing the full animal carcass to improve overall unit economics.
