You may have heard the story—how Simplot founder J.R. Simplot grew his business from the ground up, starting it nearly 100 years ago at the tender age of 14 with only $80 to his name. J.R.’s business slowly grew, and most importantly, diversified over the years.
It is Simplot’s diverse portfolio across global agriculture and food that gives us a uniquely broad view of the entire food system and sets us apart from other companies.
While we became famous for our potatoes back in the 1950s when Simplot created the first commercially viable frozen french fry in the world – our ongoing investments across the entire food chain have kept us at the forefront of feeding the growing global population for decades.
This passion, creativity and foresight is why we set out to create this video that captures what makes Simplot unique. This new Company overview highlights every part of the business, our global operations, and how we continue to innovate and invest in every segment of food production, all the way from mine to plate.
Above all, this dynamic video illustrates and underscores Simplot’s enduring commitment to help feed the world, and highlights the bright future promised by the growth of the J.R. Simplot Company.
