The tomato products maker details actions it took in anticipation of increased demand. Apr 13th, 2021 Red Gold INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Red Gold, the second-largest manufacturer of tomato products in the United States, sets the record straight on ketchup. Red Gold wants to make it clear; there is no shortage of ketchup. Over the last ten months, the increased demand for ketchup packets exceeded inventory capacity for some suppliers. As Red Gold prepared for the surge, the company developed two new pre-portioned ketchup items on other manufacturing lines, while continuing to keep the ketchup packet lines running at maximum efficiency. In May 2020, the Midwest tomato manufacturer created a production plan that doubled capacity.
