Your trusted partner in food packaging & production

Your trusted partner in food packaging & production

American Foods LLC was founded in 1950 as a small family business in Massachusetts, with a mission to deliver high-quality private-label and contract-packaging solutions. Over 75 years, we’ve grown into a 200,000 sq ft SQF-Level 3 certified facility in Pelham, NH—serving major retailers like CVS, Walmart, and Kmart with precision, speed, and reliability.

From on-demand Markem-Print film printing and automated multi-head weighing & filling to high-speed VFFS/HFFS packaging lines and sustainable materials, our expert team manages every step—ensuring your products meet exacting specs and hit shelves on time.

Today, American Foods continues to innovate in private-label confectionery, snack, and supplement packaging—backed by Elvan Group’s global manufacturing network—to help brands scale efficiently and delight consumers nationwide.
