With 6 plants in 3 countries, Oregon Freeze Dry, Inc. and its affiliate, European Freeze are leaders in both global reach and the variety of the uses to which we have successfully adapted freeze drying technology. From hundreds of individual ingredients to fully prepared entrees and with a full range of packaging options in both food and non-food categories, we can apply the most elegant preservation technology known to your company's needs.
The Food Division of Oregon Freeze Dry is the largest diversified food freeze dryer in the world. We have the capability to run many food products simultaneously because of our batch systems and variety of wet processing and dry packaging rooms. Some of our strengths are having the ability to dry large amounts of food products and in our capability to run USDA-inspected meat and poultry products.
We have over 32,000 sq. ft of freeze drying surface at our campus in Oregon, 11,000 sq. ft at our joint venture in Europe.
Before the freeze drying process, we have a multitude of processing equipment to size reduce, cook or straight tray load food products. After the freeze drying process, we can package the dry product in pouches from 2" x 3" to large 16" x 18" x 22" bulk cases. Whatever your food packaging needs, we can meet it.
Oregon Freeze Dry was incorporated in 1963, when we began freeze drying fruit for a General Foods cereal. Later, we worked with the Department of Defense to develop and produce freeze dried military rations that tasted better, weighed less, and were easier to prepare than canned rations. By the early 1970's, we were marketing our own Mountain House® line of freeze dried foods for outdoor recreational use. In the 1980's, the Company grew rapidly as we began to manufacture private label packaged food products, and expanded our food ingredient line.
Today, Oregon Freeze Dry is the world's technological leader in freeze drying. Our freeze dried ingredients are key components in the products of some of America's largest food companies. We're still a major supplier to the military, and our Mountain House® brand continues to be the favorite of backpackers,campers and emergency preparation experts.
Oregon Freeze Dry is located on a 35 acre site in Albany, Oregon, and employs over 300 people. The company has three manufacturing plants, which offer USDA and FDA registrations, according to product. Collectively, these plants represent 32,000 square feet of freeze drying capacity - over 60% of the freeze drying capacity in the US. Oregon Freeze Dry also has affiliate facilities in the United Kingdom and Denmark.
We're proud of our reputation as a progressive, quality-conscious company. Through innovative research and product development, Oregon Freeze Dry will continue to lead the world in freeze drying technology.
