Founded in 1978, Universal Blanchers is a food ingredient company focusing on supplying
ingredients and processing solutions to the peanut industry. It is the largest independent
peanut blancher in the world and is a leader in the US in outsourced blanching, roasting and
bulk peanut butter and paste for the confectionery and snacks foods markets.
Headquartered in Georgia, Universal Blanchers was purchased by the current owners in
October 1999, and since that time, the business has grown to include five peanut processing
plants with key facilities in every major US peanut growing region.
