Overview
Griffin Industries can trace its beginnings to the efforts of a determined young man, John L. Griffin. His philosophy - provide prompt service, combined with an efficient operation - enabled him to offer a more consistent product for a fair price. Griffin Industries, which began as a one man, one truck operation in 1943, is still operating under this same philosophy today.

Originally named "Falmouth Fertilizer Company," the company's primary service was to collect animal "waste" by-products from the surrounding rural counties. The early 1960s was the beginning of the company's first expansion efforts with the acquisition of a rendering plant in Columbus, Indiana.

In the 1960s and 1970s, John L. Griffin brought his sons into the expanding enterprise as Griffin Industries began acquiring new facilities, building a network that now stretches from the Northeast to the Southwestern United States. Today, Griffin's operations span 17 states with dozens of modern plants that recycle billions of pounds of material each year. Griffin uses this recycled material to develop products for many industries including the industrial and chemical, pet food and animal feed industries.

In 1993, Griffin acquired a bakery waste recycling company and named it Bakery Feeds. This proved to be a natural fit as the scrap bakery materials are recycled into animal feed ingredients.

The company's corporate headquarters is located in Cold Spring, Kentucky. Griffin Industries' commitment to the environment is reflected in its main office. In 1975, Griffin purchased a vacant, depleted building that was once a stately Kentucky mansion. This valuable landmark was restored to its original condition, preserving its original charm and character.

Privately owned and managed by the Griffin Family, Griffin Industries is a recognized leader in sanitary, efficient and punctual service to all customers. Although it's now a global business, the family still runs it the way John L. Griffin taught them - treating customers and associates the way they'd like to be treated themselves.
Services
Bakery Feeds® Collection Services

Bakery Feeds, a division of Griffin Industries, specializes in the collection of inedible bakery waste. Large bakery and snack food manufacturers produce their goods in such large volumes that even a small percentage of their products rejected for quality can produce hundreds of tons of waste each week.

Instead of discarding this waste in landfills, commercial bakeries look to the professionals at Bakery Feeds to provide solutions for the removal and secure disposal of their products.

Bakery Feeds is the only company in the industry that designs and manufactures its own collection systems and customized equipment to meet customers' varied needs.
