A century of innovative solutions

Alphabet Soup

The pasta development pipeline was, in fact, a bridge

In the 1920s, Camden, New Jersey-based Campbell Soup Company ran into texture and bite-quality issues when developing pasta for their famed Alphabet Soup. But solutions were to be found across the bridge, at Philadelphia Macaroni Company.

Sustainable & Regenerative Pasta

Our vertical supply chain supplies sustainability

Perhaps the best-known brand in organic foods wanted to offer a truly farm-to-fork story. That meant being able to source identity-preserved wheat from specific farmers and track the grain every step of the way, from the fields all the way to consumers. This was no small task. And it was further complicated by the need to maintain established quality standards at a smaller scale while still preserving traceability. Stumped, the renowned label turned to us.
