Our Facility for Food Service Companies
Pemberton’s has been providing packaging services to Food Service Companies for over 20 years. At our 10,000 square foot small-batch facility in Gray, Maine, Pemberton’s cooks and creates some of the most delicious pasta sauces, steak sauces and marinades, salsas, jams, jellies, condiments and other handcrafted artisan products enjoyed by gourmet food enthusiasts across America.
In 2018, we upgraded our three 100-gallon stainless steel kettles used for hot acidified food cooking and preparation. A separate stainless-steel kettle is used for mustards and other cold products. Our high-pressure bottling machine fills two sterilized bottles at a time and is built into the assembly line. Filled jars, while still hot, are capped through our steam-fired Italian manufactured Massilly capping machine. Product is run through our label machine and then boxed, cooled and palletized – ready for shipping to the customer. The entire process is streamlined and designed for efficiency in production.
Pemberton’s works under the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2013 and takes food safety seriously. Our processes are submitted to and regulated by the FDA to ensure compliance with the most up to date safety regulations.
Finished products are generally shipped to the customer via common carrier within a day or two of production or picked up directly at our facility by the client.
