Golden Brands was established in 1982 by a local group of private investors and their families, each of which are very professional and successful entrepreneurs. With backgrounds ranging from real estate development to founders of several fast foods restaurant chains to engineering and even a professional football star, how could this group be anything but successful? Their common thread is their roots and belief in their Louisville community. Today, five members of those investors serve on the Board of Directors with two of those Directors running the day-to-day operations of Golden Brands. Since its inception in 1982, through hard work and the production of superior products, Golden Brands has grown from a small operation to the 10 plus acre facility it is today. It houses 63,000 square feet of warehouse space containing multiple temperature controlled cold rooms for storing our customers’ shortening flakes. In 2000 Golden Brands started manufacturing All Natural Soy Wax. Today Golden Brands' Wax Products Group is responsible for supplying All Natural Waxes used in candles, lotions, lip balms, and many other non-edible uses. Golden Brands is considered to be the world’s largest producer of flaked shortening products. We know that you have a choice of suppliers and feel privileged that you have or may permit us to be that supplier. Our reputation for exceeding our customers’ expectations is well known throughout the industry and is based on the principles of commitment, integrity and responsibility. The only way to keep a valued customer is to make a total commitment to quality and service. The management and employees of Golden Brands are dedicated to honoring this commitment.
