Overview

Bio-Blend Fuels Inc. is a company producing bio-diesel from various materials, including beef tallow and vegetable oil. They are based in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and have an annual capacity of 2.6 million US gallons. The company is notable for producing bio-diesel from pig fat recovered from commercial bacon production facilities.2

The story

The company was founded in 2005 by husband and wife Dan and Tracy Kaderabek. It was originally launched merely to supply the Kaderabek's boat business with cheap fuel. However, in May 2009, a new plant was opened with a capacity of 2.6 million US gallons (9,800 m3) per year, which provides bio-diesel directly to the pump for sale to the public.

The company is a very small player even in terms of just the U.S. market, but in terms of Wisconsin they have a significant share of the market for bio-diesel. However, they are a long way behind the leading Wisconsin producer, Sanimax, who produce 20 million US gallons (76,000 m3) per year.
