Company Description

Griffin Industries takes what no one else wants to deal with and renders it useful. The Kentucky company collects and recycles a variety of items, such as inedible scraps and waste from meat-processing plants and grocery stores, used cooking oils, waste from restaurants and bakeries, and even dead farm animals. It turns these into animal feed, fertilizer, tanned leather, solvents, industrial oils and fats, and alternative fuel for vehicles. Griffin operates in 18 states and markets its products worldwide. A wholly owned subsidiary of Darling International, Griffin was founded in 1943 by John and Rosellen Griffin, whose five sons owned and operated the rendering company prior to its purchase.
