Privately-held and family-owned Cargill, Incorporated is a multinational corporation headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and is America's largest private company by revenue, as measured by PrivCo.com, with $119.5 billion in annual revenue for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. Cargill is an international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial, and industrial products and services. Founded in 1865 by William Wallace Cargill, Cargill employs 131,000 people in 66 countries as of 2011. In 2011 Cargill, Inc. spun off its Mosaic fertilizer business. Flush with cash from the Mosaic spinoff, Cargill is undertaking an active acquisitions strategy, most prominently its August 2011 acquisition of Dutch animal-nutrition business Provimi Group for nearly $2.2 billion, its largest ever acquisition in its 150+ year history.
The company, which was founded in 1865 as a one grain storage warehouse in Conover, Iowa, is one of the largest, successful, family-owned food businesses with its roots in the pioneer farming lands of America's Midwest. The company's origins can be traced back over 140 years as a simple grain storage facility to a flourishing food business today.
