About Me

Steve Lavin chairs OSI Group, one of the world's biggest food processing companies. A lawyer by training, Lavin took control of the business after the death of his father, Sheldon Lavin, in 2023. OSI began stamping McDonald's burgers in 1955, on a handshake deal with Ray Kroc, and is still a major supplier to the Golden Arches. The $7.9 billion (est. sales) company has also churned out DiGiorno frozen pizzas for Nestlé; steak, carnitas, barbacoa, sofritas, beans and salsas for Chipotle and Oscar Mayer wieners for Kraft. OSI's vast global network now spans 65 plants across 18 countries.
