Morgan Foods is one of the nation’s leading food manufacturers of private label soups, beans, broths, gravies and sauces, with more than 110 years of experience helping consumers navigate store brand opportunities.



Advances in canning technology in 1899 and the rich soil and favorable climate of Southern Indiana created the perfect environment for Joseph Steely (J.S.) Morgan and a group of other entrepreneurial men to build a canning plant. Remarkably, after five generations of business succession, Morgan Foods remains a privately held, family-owned business, with the company’s success attributable to its tireless commitment to food safety and consistent quality.

Today, Morgan Foods operates a state-of-the-art facility that meets or exceeds Global Food Safety Initiatives standards, with a Safe Quality Food (SQF) Level 3 Certification, that organization’s highest level. To grow with the times and offer customers the greatest overall value, Morgan Foods has increased its emphasis on research and development and invested heavily in the tools necessary to produce consistently high-quality products.  The company has added new products and packaging alternatives to meet today’s consumers’ demand for great-tasting, convenient and affordable shelf-stable foods. Morgan family members continue to carry on the tradition of leadership in store brand manufacturing. Their vision is enthusiastically supported by a management team and manufacturing personnel who are all dedicated to Morgan Foods’ tradition of excellence.
