Growth Helps You Grow
Since 1994, Hawkins has been manufacturing food ingredients
and products for the electronic industry. In 1995 Hawkins
was granted a patent for a liquid sodium phosphate system
used in the production of process cheese. As the business
grew, new capacity was needed. In late 1997 Hawkins
finished construction of a 44,000 square foot facility
to meet expanding business. In 2005, an additional 17,000
square feet of warehouse space was added to meet our
ever-growing demand. As of 2007 our mix tank capacity
now exceeds 60,000 gallons. The majority of our manufacturing
consists of performing acid base reactions to produce
liquid salts. Solubilizing and blending also play a
large part in our sales efforts. Now you can rely on
one of the leading ingredient manufacturers to deliver
the products you want in the quantities you need.
