19th century

Originally founded by John C. Clemens as Pleasant Valley Packing, the business started by selling meats raised on farms in Philadelphia. In 1895, J. M. Funk launched Hatfield as a dedicated pork processing facility in Hatfield.

20th century

Following the destruction of Pleasant Valley Packing by fire in 1946, John S. and Abe Clemens, along with their brothers Ezra and Lester, purchased the Hatfield plant. Since that acquisition, the Clemens family has maintained private ownership through the Clemens Family Corporation, operating primarily under Clemens Food Group. The Hatfield plant continues to function as a non-union facility.

21st century

As of September 2020, Douglas Clemens holds the position of president, while Philip Clemens serves as CEO and chairman of the board.
