Midwest Grain Products, also known as MGP Ingredients, Inc., is a prominent producer of grain-based products in the United States. Founded in 1941 and headquartered in Atchison, Kansas, the company specializes in the production of distilled spirits, as well as various food ingredients such as proteins, starches, and sweeteners.
MGP is particularly well-known for its whiskey production, supplying a variety of distilled spirits, including bourbon and rye whiskey. This has made the company a key player in the craft distilling movement, as many smaller distilleries source their whiskey from MGP to use in their own brands.
In addition to spirits, MGP Ingredients has a strong presence in the food and food ingredient sectors, providing a range of products that cater to the needs of food manufacturers. The company focuses on innovation and quality, using advanced production processes to deliver products that meet specific customer requirements.
As of recent years, MGP Ingredients has emphasized sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices, working to reduce its environmental footprint and enhance the overall quality of its operations. The company is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol "MGPI."
