ABOUT US
Inalproces S.A. started in 2004 with the idea of creating superior quality snacks made with unique natural ingredients from South America, using raw materials from Ecuador and Peru.
We first launched plantain chips in small bags for airlines and bus companies. Then, in 2009, we decided to diversify and started producing vegetable chips, which were complemented by Native Andean potatoes in 2011.
As we continue growing in the Private Label snacks industry, we opened a new manufacturing facility in July 2015 located in Sangolqui, Ecuador at 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) above sea level. This new manufacturing plant allowed us to enhance our fantastic team with the right infrastructure. Our state-of-the-art facility and products have many certifications including BRC, GMP, Organic USDA, BASC, Kosher, Non-GMO, and Gluten-Free. Additionally, we got a 99.5% score in a GMP audit for Costco.
Today, our delicious snacks can be found in 30+ countries and in a variety of outlets, such as convenience stores, grocery stores, club stores, drug stores, vending machines, food service operations and airlines.
Quality, innovation, and customer service has been our policy. Trust your brand with Inalproces’ quality and manufacturing capabilities. Our Sales and R&D team will be happy to support you with the new product development to create the perfect snack for your market.

CERTIFICATIONS
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) first introduced its Global Standard for Food Safety, a GFSI benchmarked standard, in 1998. Today the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety has almost 16,000 certified sites in over 100 countries world-wide.
Good Manufacturing Practices is a requirement for manufacturers of foods to assure that the products are of high quality and reduce risks for the consumers’ health accomplishing national and international regulations.
BASC is an international business alliance, created to promote secure international trade in cooperation with governments and international organizations. The system is designed to significantly improve the security practices and deter contraband smugglers and terrorists from using their companies to introduce contraband in legitimate shipments.
Direct Trade is an ethical, responsible and social connection between farmers and manufacturing companies without any intermediaries, in a way that the created value is shared between both parts equally. Hence, both parts work in a symbiotic relationship, outputting labor and effort in order to maximize the value of the raw material and finished goods, and become dependent on each other´s success.
Organic is a labeling term that indicates that the food or other agricultural product has been produced through approved methods. The organic standards describe the specific requirements that must be verified by a USDA-accredited certifying agent before products can be labeled USDA organic.
The word kosher means proper or acceptable. Kosher laws have their origin in the Bible, and are detailed in the Talmud and other codes of Jewish traditions. The Bible lists the basic categories of food items which are not Kosher including certain animals, fish, insects, shellfish and reptiles. In a Kosher product all units and subunits must be Kosher as well. The OU (Orthodox Union) Kosher is the world’s largest and most widely recognized kosher certification agency.
The Non-GMO certification verifies that a product is made without genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This certification ensures that food and other products comply with standards for non-GMO sourcing, testing, and labeling. Products with this certification undergo strict testing to confirm that they do not contain ingredients derived from genetically engineered crops. The certification is important for consumers seeking to avoid GMOs for health, environmental, or ethical reasons.
The CSA Recognition Seal proves the company's commitment to a quality gluten-free product for celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals. A gluten-free product doesn't contain amino acid sequences in wheat, barley, rye and common oats. CSA Recognition Seal products are tested using the strictest test presently available, the companies submit the analysis of ingredients and manufacturing procedures to assure the products meet the requirements for the CSA Recognition Seal.
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative created to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil through co-operation within the supply chain and open dialogue between its stakeholders. The certification is a seal of approval that the palm oil used in the product is sustainable.
