Company Information

Darling International Inc. Company Profile

A rather dainty name for a messy and stinky business, Darling International is the largest publicly traded rendering operation in the US; it collects and recycles animal by-products, used cooking grease, and bakery waste, and offers grease-trap cleaning services. It counts restaurants, butcher shops, grocery stores, and independent meat and poultry processors among its customers. Darling's rendering unit, which accounts for most of its sales, produces yellow grease, tallow, and meat, bone, and blood meal. The company sells its products nationwide and overseas to makers of soap, rubber, oils, pet and livestock feed, and chemicals.
