Who We Are
Keith's history in the rendering industry dates back to the 1950’s when company founder, Jack Keith developed the first successful continuous high temperature rendering process. So revolutionary was the process that proving the technology led to Keith setting up their own pilot rendering plant.
The site is currently owned by CSF Ridley and has evolved considerably since the Keith days of ownership. The highly efficient Keith Continuous Rendering Process represented a quantum leap forward in the animal by-product rendering industry around the world.
With over 60 years experience and close to 100 successful plant installations, Keith’s process continues to evolve with every new build. Efficiency, robust simplicity, product quality and automated process control are the drivers of Keith’s continued development.
