The Experts in Food and Chemical Distribution

Established in 2001, TLC Ingredients boasts a rich heritage in the chemical and food ingredients distribution industry. Founded by industry veterans Tommy Turriff, Pete Lorusso, and Jim Cavelle, our journey began with a vision to redefine customer service standards. Tom Turriff, with a wealth of industry experience, joined our team shortly after, contributing invaluable guidance to our endeavors.

Our Commitment to Excellence

In 2009, we laid the cornerstone of our commitment to excellence with the construction of our 40,000-square-foot facility. Designed in adherence to the highest standards of Environment, Health, Safety, and Security (EHS & S), our Midwest location enables efficient logistics distribution nationwide.

Growth and Innovation

Fast-forward to 2021, witnessing our dedication to growth and innovation, we expanded our warehouse to a remarkable 90,000 square feet of GFSI-certified storage space. This significant investment equips us with state-of-the-art capabilities, including segregated product storage and temperature-controlled facilities, ensuring optimal storage conditions for our diverse range of products.
