Customer Relationships
At Lancaster Fine Foods we differentiate ourselves not only thru quality of product but also our unique partnership capabilities. Our versatile functionality allows us to take on both the smaller, developing customer and the larger, established customer. Smaller companies with just a product idea can be helped in all aspects of getting their idea onto retail shelves. We can aid in research and development; formula development, packaging decisions, worldwide ingredient sourcing, marketing approaches and distribution strategies. Alternately, if a company is looking for high volume, quality production on established products, we can match existing product consistently and meet warehousing and distribution needs. For this type of established customers our location is a key asset. We can easily supply distribution chains in New York, New England and Washington/Baltimore with major distribution centers all being 3 hours or less away.
Generally we divide our services up in three categories:
- Food Co-packing
Lancaster Fine Foods welcomes companies with their own recipe or those that need help developing a product to fit a need. In both cases we work in total confidentiality. Our formulation experts can help in a variety of ways including finding ways for formula maximization, taste improvements, cooking process streamlining or less expensive ingredient variations. We are willing to work with any company in anyway that we can to better a product and help to build a brand. - Private Label
Lancaster Fine Foods can satisfy high volume customers that demand quality product created in consistent, high volume batches. Our catalog of recipes is extensive and can be modified, labeled and shipped out in our customers master cases to their distribution centers or directly to the sales accounts. If a brand already has the recognition we keep the investment cost down by allowing a bypass in the effort of recipe development. - Fulfillment Center
At the Lancaster Fine Foods facility there is about 8,000 square feet set aside for gift wrapping and internet sales fulfillment. Partial skids of product are set up and ready to be hand picked, gift wrapped and sent out via UPS or FedEx. We have our own personnel ready to fill your internet sales needs.
