About Red Gold Elwood Facility
Red Gold’s Elwood, Indiana facility operates as the headquarters of a family-owned tomato products company now in its fourth generation. The Reichart family founded the business over 80 years ago with a mission to pack tomatoes at peak ripeness, partnering with local family farms across Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Today the company works with more than 35 grower families and employs roughly 1,600 people. The company manufactures a full line of canned tomato products — whole peeled, diced, crushed, sauces, ketchup, salsa, and condiments — along with private-label and co-packed items for foodservice, retail, and industrial channels. Production runs from seed breeding through harvest: Red Gold maintains its own seed program with four to five proprietary varieties each year, raises seedlings in seven commercial greenhouses, and steam-packs the fruit into non-BPA-lined cans. The operation spans 23 product categories, 389 flavor-and-cut combinations, and 44 container sizes, making it the largest privately held tomato processor in the United States. Customers include commercial foodservice operators (restaurants, K-12 schools, healthcare, colleges, convenience stores), retail chains seeking store-brand tomato goods, industrial buyers needing bulk drums, totes, or bag-in-box formats, and export distributors in more than 25 countries. Red Gold also formulates custom products for co-pack clients. The Reichart family cites quality, customer service, and operational excellence as core values. Their seed-to-harvest control, non-GMO ingredients, and ChefsBest award-winning products are presented as key differentiators, alongside a partnership with the Folds of Honor Foundation that directs a portion of sales to military and first-responder families.
