Yakima Chief s.a.

Yakima Chief, Inc. was founded by hop growing families, some of them growing hops in the Yakima Valley for more than 130 years. The fourteen grower families, who farm more than 20% of the hop acreage in the United States, joined together to build an organization which would market their hop products direct to brewers worldwide. Yakima Chief now owns and operates nine cold storage warehouses in the YakimaValley, in addition to contract warehousing worldwide. Yakima Chief's pelleting plant is one of the largest, most advanced in the world. In 1999, an important link to providing all of YCI's products direct was completed. Our state-of-the-art CO2 extraction facility enables us to provide extracts to brewer's specifications, under the most stringent quality controls, including ISO 9001 certification.
