It is the nature of Private Label Manufacturing to be an inside! For that reason, we often can’t be specific about who we have worked with. A few of our North American clients, though, have given us testimonials that we are sharing here.
Some Testimonials.
“Steve and his Team at Gluten Free Co-Pak Inc. have been producing our entire line of gluten-free breads for the past few years. Always on time with consistent quality. We rest assured knowing our gluten-free line is manufactured in a totally separate facility from our wheat bread line. And our customers love the bread too! Thanks, Steve.” – Alan
“I came to see Steve Schrank at Gluten Free Co-Pak Inc. a little over a year ago. I wanted to have a frozen cookie dough made for my health food store chain. It took a few months in development, overcoming what seemed like insurmountable odds. Seems making a product stand up to commercial manufacture is a lot different than just freezing something at home! Thanks, Steve and team, for being patient and also for insisting on getting it right!” – Jennifer
Experiences with a start-up.
“Living with a gluten-free diet twenty years ago was difficult. I determined to eat a healthy diet without feeling deprived, so I developed a whole baking system to feed my family nutritious meals.
People kept asking me to make them my gluten-free yeast buns, pizzas, and breads. One woman said, “Trina, I would sit on your doorstep waiting for mixes to be ready if I had to.
“I appeared on a Garth Riley TV Show. It was a cancellation, and he had to fill the time slot that evening. I baked some bread for him to try, and a Lemon Meringue Pie. He told me later that he had never liked any gluten-free foods he had tried, and thought this would be the same. But he was pleasantly surprised. It was after a few experiences like this that my husband and I decided to explore the gluten-free business, and Steve Schrank gave us a hand to try out our formulas and scale the business.”
“Pictures are worth a thousand words’. Here are a few of the images documenting my adventure into the gluten-free food business. It was a great success at the time due to Steve and his Team. However, personal circumstances meant I had to give up the business; I couldn’t continue playing in the big-food leagues. But I treasure that time. I found another way to share, through my website, so if you want to hear more about this journey, have a look.” Trina
“Entering the gluten-free food business seemed like an impossible task. It was the early days in the industry. My husband and I already had a business in another field, and we’re already busy. How could we possibly find a way to help others eat a better gluten-free diet, too? Our big hearts started us on a gluten-free food path. Early on, we knew we had to ensure our mixes would be made in a dedicated gluten-free factory. We ourselves understand how even a little bit of gluten can make you feel awful or even desperately sick.
“After knocking on many doors, spending days researching online, and getting really discouraged, we were almost ready to give up when a supplier referred us to Steve at Gluten Free Co-Pak. You know, it is almost impossible to find a small firm willing to help you with a small run that won’t take all of your capital, and yet large enough to see how you can go forward and compete with large companies that dominate the market.”
We had a few requirements that we knew we would not compromise on. Gluten-free quality, taste, and nutrition. Fortunately, Steve and the people at his bakery share the same feelings.”
