What IND HEMP does

IND HEMP is a family-owned industrial hemp processor headquartered in Fort Benton, Montana, operating a vertically integrated U.S. supply chain from contracted family farms in Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon through two purpose-built processing facilities: a fiber decortication line capable of processing 5 tons of raw hemp stalk per hour into bast fiber and hurd (shives), and an SQF-certified oilseed processing facility for dehulling, cold-pressing hemp seed oil, and producing hemp protein powders.

The company's product portfolio spans four operating segments: (1) hemp fiber and hurd for technical, premium, and particulate industrial applications in textiles, nonwovens, composites, and construction; (2) hemp seed food ingredients — hemp hearts, cold-pressed oil, and protein powders — sold to food manufacturers and nutritional supplement companies; (3) branded animal care products under Hemptana (bedding, nesting mats, NASC-certified supplements) and erosion control/landscaping products under Montana Gold; and (4) IH Carbon, a strategic business unit developing a stacked soil organic carbon, biochar, and avoided emissions credit portfolio under the Verra VCS framework with projected cumulative removals exceeding 1.9 million tCO2e over a 40-year crediting period. The company is Certified B-Corp, USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and SQF-certified, with no disclosed institutional investors.

IND HEMP sells primarily B2B via quote-based bulk order inquiries to enterprise and mid-market manufacturers across food and beverage (Pacific Foods, Evo Hemp, Nepra Foods, Victory Hemp Foods), textiles and apparel (Smith and Rogue, and downstream Levi Strauss and Converse via the Vietnam corridor), construction, and carbon markets, supplemented by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront for finished hemp food products. Distribution is both domestic and international, with exports to North America, South America, Europe, and Asia; the April 2026 MOU with Summit International Trading and Thien Phuoc Ramie Group establishes a dedicated U.S.-to-Vietnam farm-to-fashion textile corridor, and the company maintains an active presence at global trade shows including EIHA, VIATT, Functional Fabric Fair, Biofach, INDEX, and Alimentec, supported by USDA FAS and NIHC export programs.
