Roskam Foods is a scaled, diversified contract manufacturer that produces frozen, refrigerated, and shelf-stable products for world-renowned food brands, retailers, and food service providers.

The company is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Roskam Foods operates 8 facilities across the United States and Canada. The facilities are located in Michigan (Grand Rapids and Kentwood), California (San Dimas), and Ontario, Canada (Toronto and Brampton).

Roskam Foods transitioned from a heritage family business into a private equity-backed growth platform. Since July 2022, the company has been owned by Entrepreneurial Equity Partners (e2p).

The company has a 100-year history of food manufacturing, having been originally founded in 1923.

Originally established as a small family pie bakery in 1923, the company pivoted during the Great Depression to provide bread and basic bakery items. For decades, it operated quietly as a massive co-manufacturer until acquiring Organic Milling and Marsan Foods in 2022 and 2023. Following its acquisition by e2p, the company officially rebranded to Roskam Foods to reflect its shift toward becoming a highly visible, multi-platform manufacturing ecosystem.

Roskam acts as a contract and private label manufacturer for other entities—including national consumer brands, large retailers, and food service institutions—rather than competing with its own retail brands. However, Roskam Baking Company LLC does hold trademarks related to various food products and proprietary recipes.

For contract manufacturing, Roskam serves as an extension of major CPG companies, adhering to tight intellectual property protections and executing existing national brand recipes at an industrial scale. For private label, Roskam actively partners with retailers to build premium, health-forward, or custom store brands, acting as a program manager that guides product specification, custom formulation, and packaging.

Given Roskam’s immense industrial scale (demanding millions of pounds in annual line capacity), MOQs are tailored to large-volume retail and national brand needs. For custom formulations requiring entirely new ingredient sourcing, industry-standard private label MOQs generally range from 15,000 to 50,000 pounds, whereas leveraging an existing base recipe can notably lower production minimums.

Onboarding and commercialization timelines vary significantly based on the complexity of the project. If a client is leveraging existing capacity, trials and optimization can be fairly swift. For projects demanding custom equipment or line installation (such as new enrobing platforms), the timeline from commitment to launch readiness typically spans 10 to 18 months.
