Buddy's Kitchen, Inc. specializes in custom frozen food and co-packing services. Our company started in 1974 when founder, Nils (Buddy) Eian developed a recipe for the perfect, handmade omelet. That product launched Buddy's Kitchen and started a relationship with the airline industry that now spans more than 40 years. Since CEO Dave Smith came to Buddy's in 2007, we have quadrupled in size and diversified our customer base and capabilities. Today, Buddy's makes more than 250,000 meals daily in our modern 65,000 sf facility in Minneapolis, MN. Our newer customers include industry leaders in C-store and specialty food service plus major CPG food companies. We specialize in best-cost co-packing services and custom product development and packaging services. Hallmarks of the Buddy's Kitchen approach include a customer-intimate service model, lean manufacturing processes, industry-leading food safety, culinary innovation, and a willingness to customize to the nth degree.
