Partnerscrackers

PARTNERS, A Tasteful Choice Company, is a second-generation family-owned artisan bakery headquartered in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle, Washington. Founded in 1992 by entrepreneur Marian Harris, the company began as a small venture born from a genuine need for quality gourmet crackers to accompany restaurant meals. What started in a home kitchen quickly grew into a nationally and internationally recognized brand, now led by Marian's daughter Cara Figgins as president and son Greg Maestretti as vice president of operations.

The company operates a state-of-the-art, 150,000-square-foot bakery facility near Seattle, purpose-built to support large-scale artisan baking while maintaining the craftsmanship and quality that defined its origins. PARTNERS specializes in producing premium crackers, cookies, and other baked goods using a proprietary slow-baking method that delivers signature crisp texture and distinctive flavor. Rather than relying on industrial formulas, the company develops its products from kitchen-inspired recipes, emphasizing deliberate ingredient selection and close attention to detail throughout the production process.

PARTNERS has developed multiple brands across a diverse product portfolio that includes gourmet artisan crackers, hors d'oeuvre crackers, organic varieties, low-fat options, and allergy-friendly products. All products are made without high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, or hydrogenated oils. The product line includes non-GMO certified and Kosher certified items, positioning the brand firmly within the better-for-you food segment. Specific product highlights include slow-baked olive oil crackers made with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt, which have been featured in Alaska Airlines Signature Fruit and Cheese Platters, underscoring the brand's premium positioning in foodservice and retail channels.

The company targets food-conscious consumers who prioritize ingredient transparency and real-food values, making its products well-suited for snacking, entertaining, travel retail, and meal accompaniment occasions. PARTNERS products are distributed across all 50 U.S. states and internationally, demonstrating broad geographic reach for a family-owned manufacturer. The combination of authentic brand heritage, clean-label formulations, non-GMO and organic certifications, and scalable bakery infrastructure make PARTNERS a notable supplier and brand partner in the premium snack and cracker segment of the consumer packaged goods industry.
