Dry Food Co-Packing Services

Finding the right co-packer is one of the most consequential decisions your brand will make. At Henry Broch Foods, we’ve spent over 80 years earning that trust, blending, filling, and packaging dry food products for global CPGs, private label retailers, and mid-size brands that need a partner who can keep pace with real growth.

Our Waukegan, Illinois, facility spans 500,000 square feet and features 32 production lines dedicated exclusively to ambient food manufacturing and dry food co-packing. That’s purpose-built infrastructure designed to take your bulk dry packaging needs from concept to shelf with speed and precision.

We specialize in dry food co-packing across a broad range of categories: seasoning blends, protein powders, mac and cheese, snack mixes, and more. Our blending and filling operations handle everything from fine powders to complex dry formulations, all within a facility built to FDA and USDA compliance standards.

• Flexible packaging formats — We run pouches, rigid containers, cartons, cups, and bulk formats, so your product gets the right package for its channel, whether that’s retail, foodservice, or industrial distribution.
• Right-sized minimum order quantities — Commercial-scale minimum order quantities — Our contract packing programs are structured for brands operating at meaningful commercial volumes. Whether you’re running recurring annual programs or time-sensitive promotional SKUs, we build production schedules around your run frequency and volume needs — not arbitrary minimums that don’t reflect how your business actually operates.
• In-house R&D — Our formulation team works alongside your brand from the earliest stages of product development. If you need a custom dry blend or a reformulated SKU, we handle it internally with no third-party hand-offs and no delays waiting on outside labs.
• Ingredient sourcing — Through our global supplier network, we source the dry ingredients your formulas require. Strategic forecasting means we stay ahead of supply chain disruptions before they become your problem.
• Midwest location, national reach — Based in Chicagoland, we sit at the center of the U.S. food manufacturing corridor with straightforward access to major distribution hubs across the country.

Henry Broch Foods began co-packing operations in 2009, and the program has grown through three facility expansions since then. Today, 350+ team members work across our production lines, quality control functions, and customer service operations, all focused on executing your program the way you need it done.

One of our partners scaled 400% in under three years, working alongside our team. That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because we tailor every project to your product, timeline, and business objectives.

We hold certifications that meet the rigorous demands of global food brands, and we work vertically with our supplier base to ensure every ingredient entering our facility meets your exact specifications.
