$21.83/HR Our Story KLN Family Brands is a third-generation family-owned company that began in 1964. Together, our companies manufacture a diverse and growing range of high-quality food products for people and pets. At KLN Family Brands, our vision is that “we are a proudly people-centered company. We are successful because of relationships built on trust and premium products for our families and friends. We make the world better by caring for others. We Challenge. We Grow. We Inspire.” Some companies have to “dress up the story” a bit. Some need a little extra “spin” to project a positive image of themselves. That’s not who we are at KLN Family Brands, and it’s not what we do. We tell the story of our brand: our people, the quality of our products, our spirit and determination, our heritage, and the way we treat our community and beyond. We do it genuinely because we truly believe we are a pretty amazing company.
