Overview
Original Juan Specialty Foods is housed in a 60,000 square foot facility on the historic Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City, Kansas. The building is a delight to the senses with tantalizing aromas and festive colors. Original Juan has been creating specialty sauces, salsas, snacks and dips for wholesale, retail and co-pack/private label customers since 1998.
When visiting the Southwest-themed facility, you will find Original Juan’s Factory Outlet Store within the entrance of the building. Customers are encouraged to step up to the tasting table to try one of the company’s 150 products manufactured under 13 different brands. Some of the company’s most recognizable brands are Pain is Good, Da’Bomb, Fiesta Juan’s, American Stockyard and Mama Capri. Original Juan also manufactures custom food products under co-packaging and private label arrangements for over 100 companies throughout the world. We currently produce around 1,700 products in our facility.
Production Facility
Original Juan operates three fully automated production lines featuring:
• A lean manufacturing process designed for efficiency and flexibility to enable quick response to customer requests
• Thirteen kettles ranging in size from 80 gallons to 400 gallons, allowing Original Juan to maintain its Micro-BatchTM approach, yet service customers both large and small
• The flexibility to handle a wide variety of packaging types and sizes, from 1 ounce bottles all the way up to 275 gallon totes
• HACCP-approved, BRC Certified quality control practices that consistently exceed FDA standards
• Certification from Kansas State University for Sanitation and Good Manufacturing Practices
Test Kitchen
Original Juan’s corporate office houses a modern test kitchen where the company’s creative process begins. The test kitchen team is directed by two talented individuals, a research and development manager and our full-time chef, who balance their time between working with co-pack customers and research and development for Original Juan. The kitchen’s twin 4-gallon kettles are perfect for making sample batches using bulk ingredients found in manufacturing. Original Juan’s creative team and innovative test kitchen are critical parts of the process for our co-pack/private label customers as we guide them through the beginning stages of the manufacturing process.
