What Seneca Foods Corp does

In the company’s own words

Seneca Foods Corporation (NASDAQ: SENEA, SENEB) operates as a leading provider of packaged fruits and vegetables in the United States. Founded in 1949, the company has grown through internal expansion and strategic acquisitions to become a major player in the food packaging industry. The company's website is www.senecafoods.com.

Seneca operates 27 main facilities throughout the United States, including packaging plants, can manufacturing operations, seed production facilities, and a farming operation supported by a logistical network. The company sources high-quality products from more than 1,100 American farms and maintains warehouses adjacent to most of its packaging plants across New York, Michigan, Oregon, Wisconsin, Washington, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota, and Arizona.

The company's business is organized into two primary reportable segments: Vegetable and Fruit/Snack, with an additional Other category for non-food operations. Food operations constitute 98 percent of total net sales, with canned vegetables representing 82 percent of food packaging sales, frozen vegetables 9 percent, fruit products 6 percent, and snack products 1 percent. The company recently acquired the Green Giant U.S. frozen business, enhancing its frozen capabilities and market reach.

Seneca manufactures and sells private label products to major grocery retailers, branded products under names including Aunt Nellie's, CherryMan, Green Giant, Green Valley, Libby's, READ, and Seneca, as well as co-pack products for other branded companies. The company also serves foodservice distributors, national restaurant operators, government food programs, industrial customers, and export markets in approximately 55 countries.

As of March 31, 2026, Seneca employed approximately 2,995 full-time and seasonal employees, with an additional 4,015 seasonal workers hired during peak harvest periods. The company's production cycle is highly seasonal, with harvesting and packaging concentrated in the second and third fiscal quarters, while the fourth quarter is typically reserved for maintenance and equipment upgrades.
