Gehl Food & Beverage manufactures food and beverage products in the United States using aseptic processing, which makes shelf-stable products that don’t require refrigeration. The company provides end-to-end services—from research and development to category management and validated packaging—along with manufacturing contracts for national brands, foodservice operators, retailers, and private-label programs. Its products are distributed widely across the U.S. through a high-efficiency distribution network, supported by a recently expanded Germantown, WI facility and new Colleton County operations with a $46 million investment and 106 jobs. Gehl aims to help customers bring products to market quickly and cost-effectively while expanding its manufacturing footprint, combining development-to-market services with large-scale aseptic production and broad multi-channel distribution.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Gehl finished Germantown expansion and opened Colleton County operations with 106 jobs.
  • Lincoln International said Gehl refinanced and bought Crescent Dairy in 2025.
  • Paylocity listed 21 openings in July 2026, showing continued operational hiring.

What critics are saying

  • Wind Point’s sale process since 2023 distracts management and chills long-term customer commitments.
  • Heavy contract manufacturing concentration exposes Gehl to customer insourcing and price resets in 2026.
  • A failed Walterboro ramp or quality incident would damage the entire aseptic platform.

What makes Gehl Food & Beverage unique

  • Gehl runs aseptic manufacturing across Wisconsin, California, and South Carolina.
  • It sells end-to-end private-label, R&D, and validated packaging solutions.
  • Its shelf-stable dairy and beverage platform serves retail, foodservice, and national brands.
