Over Thirty Years of Delicious Snacking

RW Garcia Introduces New Line of 3 Seed Gluten Free Crackers

 RW Garcia, family-owned-and-operated leading maker of artisan and all-natural corn-based snacks for more than 30 years, is now offering a new line of gluten free snacks: 3 Seed Crackers. The line consists of three varieties – 3 Seed Sweet Potato, 3 Seed Kale and a 3 Seed Harvest – that combine flaxseed, sesame seeds and chia seeds with non-GMO corn and other vegetables. The result is a delicious gluten free cracker unlike anything currently on the market.

“We hear from our customers just how popular vegetables such as kale and sweet potato are right now,” says Margaret Garcia, RW Garcia co-founder and vice president of sales and marketing. “With our line of 3 Seed Crackers, we are responding to that demand, while providing retailers with something unique and great tasting to merchandise to their consumers.”

The entire line features Non-GMO Project verified crackers that are rich in omega 3 and high in fiber due to the types of seeds used. The crackers are also free of trans fat and cholesterol.

The new cracker line includes the following varieties:

• 3 Seed Sweet Potato: The inherent sweetness of Beauregard sweet potatoes is combined with stone-ground corn for a light and crunchy cracker.

• 3 Seed Kale: 3 Seed Kale crackers are a superfood delight, rich in antioxidants and omega 3. The kale is blended with stone-ground corn for a cracker that tastes every bit as good as they are nutritious.

• 3 Seed Harvest: These crackers come with naturally sweet pumpkin crackers and stone-ground blue corn crackers together in one box. The two flavors combine to create a delicious balance between the sweet and crispy pumpkin crackers and the blue corn chips.

Like all RW Garcia products, the new 3 Seed Crackers are free from additives and preservatives and contain no trans fat. RW Garcia products are certified gluten free and, as the first snack chip company to be verified by the Non-GMO Project, all RW Garcia snacks use non-GMO ingredients. Additional RW Garcia product lines include Dippers, corn chips with unique flavors in a shape and texture ideal for dipping, as well as MixtBag tortilla chips that combine different types of corn chips in one bag.

RW Garcia 3 Seed Crackers are available now to retailers across the country. The crackers come in a 6.5 oz. box and carry an MSRP of $5.99-$6.49. For those interested in learning more, RW Garcia will showcase the new crackers at the upcoming Winter Fancy Food Show, January 11-13 in San Francisco, Calif., and will be providing samples at its booth (#5209).

RW Garcia Opens New State-of-the-art Manufacturing Facility in Las Vegas

RW Garcia Opens New State-of-the-art Manufacturing Facility to Meet Demand for Increased Production Capacity

Leading corn chip maker’s new plant also brings dozens of jobs to Las Vegas area

San Jose, Calif. – October 29, 2014 – RW Garcia, family-owned-and-operated leading maker of artisan and all-natural corn-based snacks for more than 30 years, has opened a new 63,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility near Las Vegas, Nevada. The facility, which features the latest in chip and cracker making technologies and brings 80 new jobs to the area, is now fully operational with its first chips off the production lines and shipping out to distributors and retailers.

“We have seen so much growth at RW Garcia over the past few years, and opening this facility in Las Vegas greatly increases our manufacturing capacity, while still offering room for continued growth,” said Robert Garcia, president and CEO of RW Garcia. “The business environment in Las Vegas really drew us in, and we greatly appreciate the willingness of the governor to help facilitate the new plant. We look forward to much success operating this facility in Nevada.”

In recent years, sales of RW Garcia-branded products and growth of the company’s private label business have begun to outpace production at its two current plants, one in San Jose, California, and the other in Lincolnton, North Carolina. The new Las Vegas facility offers the ability to not only meet current demand, but also to accommodate increased manufacturing capacity needs as the company continues to grow. Increased production also allows for greater distribution of RW Garcia branded products into more retail outlets.

Locating the facility in the Las Vegas area offered a number of advantages, including a healthy and supportive business environment and a more centralized location that will enable the company to respond more quickly to customer demand. The new plant is located in Clark County near North Las Vegas, where the company leased an existing facility and spent more than 10 months remodeling the building. Outfitted with the newest equipment from the leading manufacturers of chip and cracker making and packaging equipment, the state-of-the-art facility incorporates unique software customized to eliminate equipment variability and to produce products with constant repeatability to the highest quality of standards. The completion of the new facility will enable the full production rate to increase from 11 million pounds of chips per year to more than 62 million.

RW Garcia has long been a leader on the cutting edge of the healthier snacking trend. RW Garcia’s innovative branded product lines range from Tortatos, the first ever half tortilla chip, half potato chip; to Dippers, corn chips in innovative flavors made for dipping; to twists on traditional tortilla chips, including its MixtBag products; to a variety of corn-based gluten-free crackers. All products are made from wholesome, simple ingredients and contain no trans fats, additives or preservatives and are certified gluten free. Additionally, as the first snack chip company to be verified by the Non-GMO Project, all RW Garcia chips use non-GMO ingredients.

Innovative RW Garcia Revolutionizes Snack Aisles with One-of-a-kind Tortatos

The idea for Tortatos began with a simple question from a young member of the RW Garcia family: Why isn’t there a tortilla chip that tastes like a potato chip? It was a question that intrigued Robert and Margaret Garcia, founders of the family-owned-and-operated leading maker of artisan corn-based snacks, and now they have provided an answer two years in the making: Tortatos, the first-ever half tortilla, half potato chips, that are on store shelves across the country.
