Question
I am trying to help a Mom & Pop business expand their business, taking it to the next level.
They currently have a certified kitchen in their home with a total capacity of approximately 150 gallons per week. Their sales are approaching that level.

I would like to find a professional manufacturer who might be interested in producing and possibly partnering in the Wisconsin( Fox River Valley ) area.

Thank you very much,
PC

Answer
Patrick,

Probably your best bet is to ask the Food Science Department at the University of Wisconsin, Extension Service, for suggestions. They are acquainted with the food companies in the state and would know who has the right packaging equipment. You need the ability to hot fill, hold and cool. I used to refer people to the Private Label Manufacturers Association, 212-972-3131, info@plma.com, but have heard that they try to sell their directory instead of giving referrals to members. You can try anyway.
