About Litehouse

Litehouse started in the Hope, Idaho restaurant of the Hawkins family 60 years ago. Since that time, we have become the leader in refrigerated salad dressings, dips, sauces, herbs, and cheese, manufacturing these delicious products at our four U.S. facilities based in Michigan, Utah, Virginia, and Idaho. Litehouse offers its diverse portfolio of products through general retail, e-commerce, foodservice, deli, member stores, and value-added goods where Litehouse products are featured in meal and salad kits. We keep a strong commitment to our employees and the communities in which we operate. Our founders believed that all of the people who make Litehouse great deserve to benefit from its success. That is why they transferred 30% of the company's ownership to its employees in 2006 and 100% by 2014.
