There are three separate facilities in Brooklyn and a facility in New Jersey totaling over 250,000 square feet. Our main production facility and offices are located in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn and operate 24 hours a day. There are 3 state-of-the-art production lines capable of producing over 200,000 jars per day. As an off shoot of our branded business, we private label and co-pack for many different Specialty and National Food Firms, Supermarket Chains and Warehouse Clubs, and the list keeps growing. Our customers range from the Fortune 100 to the self-entrepreneur and all are treated with the same respect and dignity. Our firm is a USDA Inspected Meat and Poultry Plant, Kosher, approved by the US Military for troop feeding, and is inspected by all the appropriate State and Federal food agencies, as well as Silika, AIB and Cook and Thurber laboratories where we maintain a superior rating of 960. It takes more than just a modern facility that can offer you vacuum packing, hot filling, pasteurizing, flame roasting, particle reduction, blending, homogenizing, and ability to pack over 200 bottle per minute. It takes the knowledge and expertise that comes from over 76 years of experience. We handle it all for you, from start to finish, so you can do what you do best, without any production headaches.
