An F&B manufacturer dedicated to providing optimal solutions in a fast, flexible, and passionate way, Delmar Foods offers a wide variety of sauces, spreads, dressings, and mayonnaise for the food service and retail sectors.

The company’s operations encompass processing cold and cooked products at its 240,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, which comprises leading-edge equipment and systems to support diverse production, warehousing, formulating, and packaging requirements. Beyond these competencies, Delmar Foods also has extensive distribution capabilities, strengthening its position as a reliable partner for leading restaurant and retail chains.

Delmar Foods takes responsibility for the management of supply chain, manufacturing, and inventory management on behalf of their clients. The dedicated warehouse space ensures that inventory is always on hand when the customer needs it. This flexible, holistic model also benefits clients who follow a ‘made-to-order’ approach, where production occurs only upon request and rapid turn around is required.

The company collaborates with customers, employing strategic sourcing and contracting approaches for ingredients to help them effectively manage costs. Boosting this competency is its ability to provide consistent and predictable pricing throughout a contractual agreement.

“At Delmar Foods, we currently have existing capacity that allows us to quickly take on new business, and we’re also continuing to grow and expand our production capabilities to meet the growing needs of the industry,” says Karie Peachey, director of sales operations at Delmar Foods.

At the heart of their success lies an ability to effectively communicate and actively listen to client-specific requirements and the intended use of their products. This provides valuable insights that identify the most suitable options from its range of products. Above all, whether it pertains to a food service environment or a retail setting, Delmar Foods effectively presents its diverse offerings and engages in collaborative discussions to determine the optimal solution for their needs.

The company’s unwavering dedication to supporting customers in responding to their needs for rapid product development is backed by its outstanding R&D team. Leveraging this competency, Delmar rapidly creates and delivers samples that meet the highest quality and safety specifications, facilitating approval and commercialization of products within a week. This level of responsiveness strengthens relationships, which drives the company’s continued growth and consistent customer satisfaction.

While other players in the market struggle with capacity constraints, Delmar stands out by enabling customers to quickly develop new products. It has the capacity to meet immediate business needs and remains dedicated to continuously improving its production capabilities for future needs.

Even during the recent supply chain challenges, when many manufactures struggled to secure raw materials and desired packaging, the team at Delmar leveraged its expertise and industry partnerships to deliver a continuous supply of ingredients and packaging and maintain business continuity.

Emphasis on maintaining superior customer service, even in difficult times, is exemplified by a success story where Delmar assisted a client facing difficulties acquiring plastic jugs for sauce packaging. The company quickly provided the option of pouches, allowing them to continue production without downtimes while reducing plastic use and driving cost-savings and better results.

From a compliance perspective, Delmar adheres to the SQF Level 2 safety standards, which are complemented by a dedicated quality team on the production floor. This group of experts actively monitors and conducts rigorous testing to ensure safety standards are not merely met, but surpassed. Through diligent efforts, it reliably safeguards the well-being of employees and the quality of manufactured products.

Delmar Foods demonstrates a solid commitment to quality throughout its operations, from the production floor and quality assurance to its R&D and customer service competencies. It aims to continue expanding its understanding of customer demand to achieve timely production and seamless distribution of on-trend products with the freshest flavors.
