Turnkey Food Manufacturing

Henry Broch runs turnkey food manufacturing as one relationship. A single team owns your product from the first ingredient order through finished, packed goods, so you work with one partner instead of a broker at one end and a packer at the other. We have built that model since 1941, and it now runs inside our BRC-certified 375,000-sq.-ft. facility in Waukegan, Illinois.

One Partner for Every Stage of Production

Our food manufacturing solutions cover the full path from concept to shelf. Our R&D team develops the formulation and benchmarks it against any product you want to match. It also guides packaging format and technical design. From there, we source ingredients through our own supply network and blend them in-house. Your product then runs on one of our 30+ production lines, with the same team watching each handoff.

Sourcing and Supply Chain Under One Roof

Henry Broch began in 1941 as an ingredient brokerage, and sourcing still anchors everything we make. Our vertically integrated farm network gives your product a traceable supply of dried vegetables and spices. Because the team that buys your ingredients also runs your production schedule, we plan purchasing around your volumes and your launch dates. You track one supply chain instead of three, and you know exactly who to call when a delivery date moves. Traceability goes back to the farm, giving your quality team a clear record to review. Our customers know they can depend on our food ingredient sourcing.

Packaging Flexibility That Matches Your Channel

We pack dry and ambient goods in formats that run from single-serve sachets to canisters and cups. Retail and foodservice buyers need different formats, and we run both from the same plant. Mid-volume runs move on fast lead times, so you can launch a new format without bringing on a new supplier. Packaging decisions also stay connected to your recipe, since the team that blends your product helps choose the pack. Our dry food co-packing services provide the solutions our customers require. Brands with a specific pack in mind can request a custom format.

What Turnkey Food Manufacturing Includes

Many brands bring us dry and ambient products, such as dry soup, vegetable, bakery, and sauce mixes. Others arrive with only a concept. Our food product development team turns that concept into a tested formulation, and our dry blending services produce it at production scale. Brands that already own a formula can bring it to us for tolling or matching. Either way, the same project team follows the product from sample to first production run.

How Our Turnkey Services Connect

Each service we offer is one part of the same relationship. You can start with one and add others as your brand grows. Because every service, like our turnkey co-packing, draws on the same plant and team, you never have to repeat onboarding when your needs change.

• Dry food co-packing keeps blending and packing in the same plant, with the same team that sourced the ingredients.
• Our food contract manufacturing programs scale from tolling to full formulation, so you choose how much of the process we own.
• Need raw materials only? Buy ingredients directly, or fold sourcing into a larger program.
• Retailers and brands build their own lines through our private label food manufacturer program, from recipe to finished pack.

Scale and Standards Behind End-to-End Food Manufacturing

End-to-end food manufacturing works only when the plant has room to grow with you. Our 30+ production lines can accommodate your needs, and our BRC-certified status means a single food safety standard covers every stage of your product. Learn more about why brands choose Henry Broch.
