Redco

The Little Falls facility of Redco Company produces almost all of the Red Rose, Salada, and Junket brand products in the United States. Peter C. Larkin founded the Salada Tea Company in Canada in 1892 and introduced a metal foil package for loose teas that set the packages trend for the entire tea industry.

In a series of mergers, the company acquired the "Junket" brand of rennet products from Chr. Hansen Laboratories in 1958. Danish-born Hansen was the first manufacturer to produce a commercial rennet product, essential for the making of a uniform., quality cheese. He located in Little Falls, New York in 1890 to be close to the center of the American dairy industry. At that time, Little Falls was the largest inland cheese market in the country.

Additional company mergers brought Salada and Junket to Redco, a firm that holds the exclusive rights to the U.S. Red Rose trademark.
