Idaho Pacific

What Idaho Pacific does

Idaho Pacific Holdings, Inc. is a privately held, family-controlled potato dehydration company headquartered in Ririe, Idaho. Founded in 1987 around a facility originally built in 1971 by local farmers, the company has grown via three acquisitions (AgraWest Foods in 2000, Idaho Pacific Colorado Corporation in 2003, and Idaho Supreme Potatoes in 2018) into a four-facility North American network spanning Idaho, Colorado, and Prince Edward Island, Canada. It manufactures dehydrated potato ingredients including flakes, flour, granules, slices, dices, shreds/hash browns, and agglomerated mixes using state-of-the-art processing equipment capable of full cook to low leach specifications, clean-label/additive-free variants, and organic-certified production at the Colorado facility. Facilities carry SQF (GFSI) food safety, Kosher (OU), Halal (IFANCA), and organic certifications.

The company serves three primary customer segments: food manufacturers (B2B ingredient supply in bulk rail car and bulk truck formats for processed food products), foodservice operations (institutional supply to schools, cafeterias, nursing homes, and restaurants in poly pouches, gabled cartons, #10 tins, kraft bags, and bulk sacks), and retail/private-label channels. Distribution is direct B2B with private-label packaging options. Revenue figures, ownership details, and pricing are not publicly disclosed, and the leadership team consists of a President & CEO (Wally Browning), CFO (Todd Kemp), and a Chief of Security (Edson Estrada). The business model is a conventional food ingredient manufacturer with revenue tied to processed food and institutional foodservice volumes rather than any technology or subscription layer.
