Cal-Maine Foods: brands it owns and its ownership tree
Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ: CALM) is a publicly listed company headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi, United States that owns 7 consumer brands and makes and sells 2 consumer brands under licence without owning the names.[1][2]
Cal-Maine Foods is the largest egg company in the United States by its own account, founded in 1957 and run from Ridgeland, Mississippi. It has acquired and integrated 28 businesses since 1989 and depends heavily on a single customer: Walmart, including Sam's Club, took 30.0 per cent of its net sales in the year to 30 May 2026. In the fourth quarter of that year it split itself into three reporting segments — conventional shell eggs, specialty shell eggs and prepared foods — reflecting a strategy of building an egg-based food business less exposed to the swings in the shell egg price that halved its conventional segment's sales in a single year.
