Templar Foods Chairman, Edward D."Ned" Reeves

Quality Control Program: Buyers of grocery-beverage items are quality conscious. They require appropriate and consistent levels of quality control, assurance of product safety, reproducibility of product characteristics and evidence that product is manufactured in conformity with federal regulations known as Good Manufacturing Practices. Templar Food Products is committed to this total quality program through monitoring of all steps in the process - including raw materials, product in process and finished goods.

Templar Food Products was founded in 1971 by Chairman Edward D."Ned" Reeves. A Chemistry graduate of Williams College, Reeves has based his career in the international tea and coffee industry. He has been active on the Technical Committee of the Tea Association of the U.S.A., of which Templar Food Products is a longstanding member. Reeves began working in the Research Department of Tenco, a major instant coffee and tea manufacturer, in 1955. He spent sixteen years helping grow the company, including the eventual purchase of Tenco by The Coca-Cola Company. He traveled extensively to tea producing countries, and was a board member of a corporate tea processing operation in Kenya.
