Hearthside Food Solutions - Product Development

Hearthside's extensive on-premise labs, kitchen facilities, and prototype manufacturing lines enable us to design products along with our customers. This co-development creates new opportunities for savings and future competitive advantage for their branded products.

Our fully equipped test kitchen / lab enables us to test and adapt in a real-world production environment. Lab-based Proofer ovens, dryers, fryers, and season applicators and other equipment enable us to test and perfect your recipe in our environment - prior to any production runs. Our pilot production lines, which include a snack line, sliders, fryers, fitz mill and proofer ovens, enable us to conduct further tests - prior to full scale production runs. Our Package Development team works with your engineers and packaging designers to match your marketing requirements with the ideal materials and formats for maximum competitive advantage.
