Experience and reliability you can count on. Decades of expertise, global reach, and the responsiveness of people who pick up the phone.
For nearly three decades, Ballard Group has provided trusted ingredients sourced directly from producers around the world. As a family-owned company based in Cincinnati, Ohio, we pair global reach with quick response times and a genuine investment in long-term partnerships.
We import and distribute specialty ingredients worldwide, and we developed SALMATE®, our proprietary spray-dried omega-3 powder, made to our specification for pet food and animal feed manufacturers across North America and beyond.
We prioritize enduring relationships over transactional interactions. Family ownership lets us make fast decisions and stand behind your supply for the long term.
Small and family-owned, so decisions happen fast and you are never stuck in a queue.
You reach a real person who knows your business, not a call center or a ticket number.
Long-standing supplier relationships and U.S. stock mean supply you can rely on, year after year.
