For more than 125 years, Hormel Foods has brought innovation, beloved brands and outstanding value to our consumers, customers, communities and shareholders. We are proud of this milestone but are motivated by our future. We remain focused on our purpose statement: Inspired People. Inspired Food.™ Though much has changed since George A. Hormel first founded Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in 1891, the company is still proudly based in Austin, Minn., and the values on which it was founded — integrity, an uninterrupted quest for quality and innovation, a respect for one another and a commitment to community — still define Hormel Foods today.
