Our rich heritage in the Chicago Stockyards dates back over 100 years to when our founder began peddling meat to neighborhood grocers. In 1972, the Miniat family acquired South Chicago Packing, solidifying our ties to the neighborhood, and continuing Chicago’s long tradition of family-owned businesses, domestic manufacturing, and community.
SCP began as a meat packing operation, but gradually transitioned into developing custom oil blends and food-grade specialty shortenings. Though we no longer pack meat, we appreciate our company’s rich, historic past which is reflected in our name, South Chicago Packing.
SCP has been in the Animal Fats business for 45+ years. We are a family owned business specializing in supplying food-grade oils and shortenings to bakeries and national restaurant chains. SCP has always been an Industry-leading innovator when it comes to oils, providing technical expertise and customizable products to our customers. We are The Experts In Animal Fats.
