Our history

Algood began business at its Louisville plant in August 1985. The plant, whose previous owner was The Beatrice Companies, had been producing food products for nearly 75 years. In 1985, its primary product was private label peanut butter.

 However, over the years, Algood has invested significant capital to expand its markets to include industrial, contract manufacturing, food service, the U.S. Government, and export.

 *In April 1993, the company began production of jellies and preserves in our Lawrenceburg (KY) facility.

 *In July of 2002, our peanut butter plant was moved to a brand new 1-story, 100,000 square foot building in the Riverport Section of Louisville (KY). This move provided us with tremendous flexibility in logistics and labor costs associated with peanut butter manufacturing.

 *In October 2007, we remodeled and added a 3rd cook system to the Lawrenceburg facility.

 *In November 2018, we added a new Portion Pack Line to our Louisville (KY) facility.

 Algood was also the first private label peanut butter manufacturer to:

• Use a fully staffed in-house microbiological laboratory.
• Use a foil seal on glass jars.
• Offer National Brand Emulation to Retail Customers
• Convert from glass to PET jars.
• Nitrogen flush the headspace on peanut butter jars.
• Introduce PB&J stripe in a P.E.T. container.
