Welch's Grape Juice

Welch's is an iconic American brand known primarily for its grape juices, jellies, and jams. The brand traces its origin back to 1869 when Thomas Bramwell Welch developed a method for pasteurizing grape juice to prevent fermentation. Welch's is famously the processing and marketing arm of the National Grape Cooperative Association, a cooperative of grape growers.

While the brand originated in the United States and maintains its core manufacturing there, it has a global presence with products distributed and sometimes packaged in multiple countries. The brand remains under the ownership of the National Grape Cooperative Association, ensuring that the profits from the products go back to the farmers who grow the grapes.
