C & S Products

C&S Products was founded in 1986 with the mission of producing the highest quality wildlife specialty food and feeding accessory products available for the U.S. wild bird feeding market. It began with a small manufacturing facility and just a few employees in Ft. Dodge, Iowa and has grown into a nearly 40 million dollar, state of the art manufacturing facility with two production centers and a 12 bay distribution center with the capacity to deliver product to any customer in the U.S. within two days. 

Other wild bird supply companies had attempted to create the wild bird suet category for more than 40 years before C&S Products started, but all were largely unsuccessful. What they did differently came from their agricultural background, using animal fats combined with information they learned from having their own EPA-approved testing lab for over 20 years. This knowledge allowed them to produce the best wild bird food attractions ever used in the wild bird feeding hobby industry. Consumer success in attracting a much larger variety of wild birds to their feeding habits is what makes C&S the success they are today. 

Domination of the U.S. wild bird food market has not satisfied C&S Products as they are currently making plans to expand distribution into Canada and Europe.
