GNP and The Maschhoffs' pork production business will operate as separate business units following the closing of the transaction, and will have no immediate impact on GNP’s chicken business or The Maschhoffs' pork production business. GNP’s headquarters will remain in St. Cloud, Minn., and its nearly 1,700 team members and 350 family farm partners will be retained.
