A History of Success

Request Foods® began as the prepared entrees division of Bil Mar Foods, one the nation's largest turkey processors. When Bil Mar was bought by Sara Lee in 1988, a group of investors, led by Jack DeWitt, purchased the division and launched Request Foods in a new 100,000 sq. ft., production facility in Holland, Michigan.

In 2001, Request Foods expanded with an additional 100,000 sq ft. as the company began to focus more on co-packing frozen entrèes for consumer product companies and major food service organizations.

In 2003, the company expanded even again, increasing its size to 350,000 sq. ft., adding processing equipment, kitchen and production areas. Today, Request Foods is consistently ranked as a Tier 1 frozen food processor in volume, capabilities and breadth of products.

Request Foods members are actively engaged in the food industry and in our community. Since our beginnings, we have produced more than 400 different custom entrées, side dishes, appetizers, sauces and desserts. We believe our success during the past two decades is the reward of hard work, innovation and the pursuit of excellence.
