Griffith Foods

Griffith Foods develops and manufactures ingredient systems for the global food industry: primarily dry seasonings, sauces and dressings, and coating systems for proteins and snacks. The firm also markets a dedicated alternative-protein portfolio that includes plant-based substrates, binding systems, and specialized coatings. Its facilities combine product development, sensory science, and pilot-scale production to deliver formulations that food manufacturers and quick-service chains integrate into their own finished products.

Griffith Foods lists more than 30 distinct corporate, manufacturing, and culinary-center locations across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Key production clusters include facilities in Illinois, Georgia, Ontario, Hidalgo and Nuevo Leon (Mexico), Heredia (Costa Rica), São Paulo state (Brazil), Derbyshire and Somerset (UK), Herentals (Belgium), Guangdong and Shandong (China), Karnataka (India), and Samut Prakan (Thailand). The firm does not publish a complete asset register.

Yes, alternative proteins are one of the four product portfolios marketed by Griffith Foods. The company promotes solutions for plant-based and alternative-protein applications including substrates, binding systems, functional ingredients, and specialized coatings. These products are supported by dedicated protein-technologies teams in locations such as Heredia, Costa Rica and Marinilla, Colombia, and are integrated into the firm’s global innovation platforms.

Griffith Foods structures its customer relationships around a partnership framework branded as 'Creating Better Together,' which embeds supplier teams inside the product-development cycle alongside the client. The firm’s network of co-located culinary centers, sensory-science labs, and pilot plants allows it to prototype, test, and scale formulations without requiring the food manufacturer to tool up internal R&D. This model shifts the supplier from a transactional vendor to an embedded development partner.

The firm lists its global headquarters at One Griffith Center in Alsip, Illinois, a southwestern suburb of Chicago. The Alsip site houses a corporate office, manufacturing facility, and culinary center. Griffith Foods also operates major regional corporate offices in Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, the United Kingdom, Belgium, India, Singapore, and China.
