Since 1954, Eastern has specialized in the wholesale distribution of poultry, beef, seafood, pork, and other products.
But we’ve also specialized in building and establishing long-term relationships with vendors and customers across the country by selling a service; not just a commodity. For over 60 years, we’ve measured our success one satisfied customer at a time, and we continue to do so today. Our goal is to serve our customers with the highest quality service and products that fit their specific needs. Our customers include:
- Food further processing and manufacturing plants
- Food service institutions
- Retailers and grocery store chains
- Schools, universities, hospitals, and prisons
- Nonprofit organizations
What distinguishes us from other protein distributors:
- Long-term relationships. These include clients, suppliers, and an extremely stable team of sales specialists within our company. On average, our sales team members have been with Eastern for 15 years.
- Understanding client needs. By knowing what our clients need, our sales specialists can locate and negotiate deals that will benefit them directly.
- Vendor relationships. When vendors have a surplus of a particular product, they often call us first, so we can secure the product for our clients.
