In 1891, company founder George A. Hormel uttered the words, “Originate, don’t imitate.” It’s been our guiding principle ever since. Hormel Foods is headquartered in Austin, Minn., with production facilities and sales offices throughout the world. The career opportunities we offer are as rich and diverse as the product lines we market. Some of the world’s most talented people come to Hormel Foods because they know their ideas will be encouraged and heard. Our future depends on the creativity, innovation and continual growth of our team members.
