Baumer Foods Inc, headquartered in Reserve, Louisiana, is a third-generation family-owned food manufacturing company established in 1923. Operating from a state-of-the-art 190,000 square foot facility at the Globalplex Intermodal Terminal, the company specializes in hot sauce production and condiment manufacturing with deep New Orleans heritage. Led by Alvin "Pepper" Baumer III, the company maintains its traditional Louisiana flavor profiles while serving a global market spanning 75 countries. The company processes over 4.5 million gallons of their flagship Crystal Hot Sauce annually, shipping 3 million gallons worldwide each year. Beyond hot sauce production, Baumer Foods manufactures preserves, jellies, canned goods, olive oil, mustard, and various specialty sauces and condiments. Their manufacturing capabilities were proven during World War II when they supplied combat rations to U.S. troops. Following Hurricane Katrina's destruction of their original 75-year-old New Orleans facility in 2005, Baumer Foods rebuilt with modern equipment and expanded production capacity. The company combines century-old recipes with contemporary food safety standards and distribution networks. Their commitment to authentic New Orleans flavor profiles and family traditions has established them as a leading specialty food manufacturer in the Gulf South region, supporting both regional culinary culture and international expansion.
