Hearthside Food Solutions

Hearthside is the food industry's largest contract manufacturer, and largest private bakery. 20 facilities produce high quality consumer baked foods, snacks and packaging services. We provide customers with a combination of quality, scale, dependability and product integrity that is unequaled in the modern contract manufacturing chain. Primary product categories include bars, cookies, crackers, components, and other baked foods and snacks. Hearthside is also one of the industry’s largest contract packagers of food products. Today Hearthside operates 24 production facilities, including three in Europe, and is a volume leader in multiple product categories. Hearthside was founded in 2009 on the belief that food contract manufacturing was ripe for innovation and reinvention. Founder Rich Scalise believed that a company combining the speed, flexibility, and innovative drive of a startup with the scale, depth quality, and capacity of a world-class manufacturer would create new value for customers. The result is Hearthside, a highly flexible world-class contract manufacturer, and one of the fastest growing companies in the food industry. On the surface, a contract manufacturer may not stand out. They even may look alike. Take a closer look however and there are big differences. Add them up and they can create sustained competitive advantage for Hearthside’s premier food customers. Our investments and commitments to quality, safety, speed, innovation, and value set new standards of industry performance. For our customers, this translates into value propositions that include Quality, Speed-to-Market, Innovation, and Flexibility.
