Coloma Frozen Foods Celebrates 100 Years of Excellence in Frozen Food Production

For Immediate Release: May 19, 2025

 

Coloma, Michigan – Coloma Frozen Foods, Inc., a leader in premium frozen fruits, vegetables, and juice concentrates, proudly celebrates its 100th anniversary. Founded in 1925 as Coloma Co-operative Canning, the company has grown from a cooperative supporting local growers into a trusted name in the food industry, serving retail, food service, and industrial markets across the United States.

 

Located in the heart of Michigan’s “fruit belt,” Coloma Frozen Foods has built a legacy of quality and innovation. Over the past century, the company has evolved from canning to specializing in frozen produce and fruit juice concentrates, with signature products like Nature Blessed Montmorency Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate. Its state-of-the-art facility, capable of handling 20 million pounds of product, supports a wide range of services, including co-manufacturing, private labeling, repacking, and blending, all while maintaining organic and kosher certifications.

 

“Reaching 100 years is a testament to our commitment to quality, our partnerships with growers, and the dedication of our team,” said Brad Wendzel, President of Coloma Frozen Foods. “We’re proud to honor our heritage while continuing to innovate and meet the needs of our customers with top quality products, storage, and re-packing needs.”

 

The company’s century-long journey includes key milestones: transitioning to frozen foods in the 1970s, entering the retail and concentrate markets in the 1980s, and building a cutting-edge repack and distribution center in 2014. Today, Coloma Frozen Foods serves breweries, vintners, bakeries, and grocery chains, offering 100% pure fruit juice concentrates crafted with no added sugar, packaged under its Nature Blessed brand. 

 

Their products are available for purchase through the official online store at www.colomafrozen.com, on Amazon, and at local retailers including Martin’s, Harding’s, Rogers Foodland, and B&B Grocery.

 

Coloma Frozen Foods will throw a celebration picnic for their valued employees, for information on all other milestone celebration events visit their website.
