What Haliburton International Foods does

Haliburton International Foods, Inc. is a privately held custom food product manufacturer founded in 1992 and headquartered in a 300,000 sq. ft. facility in Ontario, California. The company develops and produces ready-to-use ingredients for the nation's largest multi-unit restaurant operators and retailers, offering a portfolio spanning fire-roasted and pickled vegetables, kettle-cooked sauces, salsas, soups, condiments and dips, dessert sauces, craft beverage mixers, breakfast scrambles, and IQF rice, ancient grains and beans. Its go-to-market is enterprise B2B field sales, selling custom formulations under concept-specific packaging to national chain accounts; the firm does not publish pricing and operates on a quote basis.

Manufacturing rests on proprietary process technology, including high-temperature flame roasting paired with flash freezing (IQF) for produce, custom pickling and packaging systems with multiple brine formats, 300+ million pounds of kettle sauce capacity, 100+ million pounds of continuous bean-cooking capacity, and an in-house microbiology lab using Dupont's BAX rapid microbial detection platform. The facility processes over 50 tons of fresh food per hour, holds SQF/GFSI, Kosher (OU), Halal, Organic, Gluten-Free and USDA certifications, and runs 50+ independent food safety inspections and 20,000+ physical chemistry tests annually.

The company monetizes through B2B product sales at scale, leveraging grower relationships in California and Mexico, strategic logistics positioning near Ontario International Airport and the Port of Long Beach, and a culinary-led R&D function that drives custom product development and speed-to-market for chain menu innovation. With 101-250 employees, the firm is positioned as a mid-sized specialty co-manufacturer competing on customization, scale and culinary credibility rather than on commodity ingredient pricing.
