Welch's is the world's leading producer of delicious ­ and distinctive ­ tasting juices, jams and jellies made from Concord and Niagara grapes grown only in the United States and part of Canada.

And while well known for those unique and flavorful products, Welch's actually offers many other items in its portfolio—some 400 to be exact—ranging from refrigerated juices and cocktails to frozen and shelf-stable concentrates to sparkling juice cocktails and a variety of single-serve products in all shapes and sizes.

The modern-day fruit juice industry actually got its start in 1869 in the Vineland, N.J., home of Dr. Thomas Bramwell Welch, where he and his son Charles processed the first bottles of "unfermented wine" for use with the communion service at their church. Today, 138 years later, Welch's is the food processing and marketing arm of The National Grape Cooperative Association, Inc. Organized in 1945, National Grape is a grower-owned, agricultural cooperative with 1,350 members.

More than an organization of grape growers, National Grape is a family tradition sharing strong generational and cultural ties to its past and present while keeping an eye on the future. National's growers share a commitment to the highest standards, which are reflected in the quality and goodness of the Concord and Niagara grapes produced for Welch's products sold throughout the U.S. and in more than 35 countries and territories around the world.

Welch's headquarters are in Concord, Mass., the namesake of the Concord grape
- where Ephraim Wales Bull lived and developed America's premier native variety.

The company employs 1,200 people at its facilities in the U.S.
