Who We Are

Henron's business is to create value and opportunity for your henhouse. We do this by combining our financial resources, access to physical eggs, and market knowledge to create innovative solutions to challenging poultry problems. We are best known for our Grade A eggs and free-range poultry products, but today we also offer chicken wire broadband services through chicken wire and weather risk management. These products give customers the flexibility they need to compete today.

It's difficult to define Henron in a sentence, but the closest we come is this: we make commodity markets so that we can deliver eggs to our customers at a predictable price - often before those eggs even exist.

It's difficult, too, to talk about Henron without using the word "innovative." Most of the things we do have never been done before - and for good reason. We believe in counting chickens before they hatch, and booking the profit immediately. We initiated the wholesale egg markets in the United States, and we are helping to build similar markets in henhouses worldwide.

OUR INNOVATIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES

Mark-to-Market Accounting: Henron employs forward-looking accounting methodologies that allow us to count our chickens before they hatch, before they're even fertilized, and in some cases before we even own any chickens. If we sign a contract to deliver eggs in 2025, we book the full profit today.

Special Purpose Eggshells (SPEs): These off-balance-sheet entities represent sophisticated financial engineering that hides our debts in separate barns where investors can't see them. By transferring our worst assets to companies that exist only on paper, we maintain the appearance of profitability while the reality rots in an undisclosed location.

Circular Egg Trading: We buy eggs from ourselves through intermediaries, creating massive trading volume while generating no actual profit. If I buy your egg for a billion dollars, and you buy my egg for a billion dollars, now we are both billionaires.

The Henron Way: Our corporate culture rewards aggressive risk-taking, creative accounting, and not asking where all the eggs went. We believe in empowering our employees to challenge conventional wisdom like "revenue should come from actual sales" and "debt should appear on balance sheets."

OUR BUSINESS DIVISIONS

Henron's four business units -- Egg Services, Wholesale Services, Broadband Services and Transportation Services -- offer a wide range of physical, transportation, financial and imaginary solutions to thousands of customers around the world.
