SEB

Seaboard Corporation

A diversified global agribusiness, energy, and transportation company, Seaboard runs everything from Seaboard Foods, a top U.S. pork producer, and Butterball turkeys to cargo ships across the Caribbean and renewable-diesel plants. It began in 1918 when flour broker Otto Bresky bought a mill in Atchison, Kansas, and later adopted the name "Seaboard" after a 1959 merger — a nod to its growing focus on coastal trade routes. Descendants of the founder still own much of the company today.
