Your Goals. Our Expertise.

All our experience and effort come together into one vision and goal: to empower clients with commercial intelligence, supply chain expertise, and risk management solutions.

People and experience are our most important assets, ideas are the cornerstone of our business, and synthesizing these strengths allows us to provide independent, personalized counsel to the food and beverage industry.

From our roots as a West Coast-based sugar brokerage company in 1948, our reach has extended to the national and international landscape, and our expertise has expanded from sweeteners to include a broad spectrum of commodity ingredients. In each decade since our founding, McKeany-Flavell has been at the forefront of industry change, recognizing we must add value to the buy-sell equation.

In the 1950s, we helped food and beverage manufacturers achieve competitive advantages by engineering new bulk handling systems. In the 1970s, we assisted companies considering the switch to high fructose corn syrup with our expertise in both formulation and product application. We continued to expand our scope in the 1980s, entering the edible oils, cocoa & chocolate, grains, and fruit juice concentrate areas. And our expertise today shows a continuous timeline of expansion into dairy, biofuels and energy, global economics, geopolitics, and price risk management strategies.
