History
The John R. White Company, Inc. has operated continuously since the 1940’s.
In 1947, John R. White and L.Q. Patton established a business that would grow into a cornerstone of the food ingredients industry. While we’ve preserved their legacy of reliability and cost-competitiveness, we’ve also dramatically expanded our scope and capabilities. We’ve evolved from a specialized supplier of dairy and bakery ingredients into a highly skilled and knowledgeable source for new product innovation, supply chain management, and inventory optimization.
Our sales team’s unparalleled technical expertise allows us to offer not only an exceptional range of food ingredients but also vital production guidance and formulation insights that drive our customers’ innovation and success. Our nearly 100 years of experience enrich every client relationship and motivates us to ensure safety and satisfaction through unwavering dedication.
Mission
ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR BETTER ANSWERS
We find great satisfaction in being the product behind the products — and in being a partner with each of our clients. Due to our rich history in the food industry, we have a deep understanding of the nature of bulk food ingredients and their applications. Through the decades, change has been a constant, and our company has navigated through every new development and regulation. We are confident that no one understands more about how to help you create food products that are nutritionally sound, efficiently produced, and – it goes without saying – delicious.
The John R. White Company is proud of the vast body of expertise we’ve built throughout our history, but we understand that our credibility depends on the customer service and products we currently provide. Every day, our goal is to be a little better than the day before and remain a valued partner to each and every one of our customers.
