When Messrs.  Bloch and Guggenheimer founded their pickle business in 1889, they had no idea what they were starting. Both immigrants who had come to America in search of a better life, Bloch and Guggenheimer settled their business in Manhattan. At the time, Manhattan was close to abundant supplies of fresh ingredients in nearby rural areas, making it an ideal location for the business.

Soon, B&G started expanding rapidly, both through building a large retail and food service business, and by expanding its share of the nation's largest pickle, pepper, olive and relish market. With B&G's success, the company literally wore out its New York factory, and in 1988 B&G moved its pickle and pepper manufacturing to a modern, 200,000 sq. ft. plant in Hurlock, Maryland.

Today, not only are B&G pickles and peppers the #1 condiment brand in the New York Metro area, but B&G Foods, Inc. is a multi-brand company that manufactures and distributes a diversified product line, including: Wright's Liquid Smoke, Trappey Hot Sauce's, Ortega Mexican Foods, Regina Vinegars and Cooking Wines, B&M Baked Beans, Las Palmas Mexican Sauces and Peppers, Polaner Jams, Jellies and Wet Spices, Accent Flavor Enhancer, Maple Grove Farms Pure Maple Syrup, Cozy Cottage Sugar Free Syrup.
