US Foods, one of the country’s leading distributors, announced the purchase of New City Packing Company, a supplier of high-quality steaks and fresh-cut portion meats to restaurants and customers across the country.
Founded in 1884, New City Packing Company serves more than 400 customers and operates a 60,000 square foot distribution warehouse and meat cutting facility in Aurora, Ill. To more efficiently serve customers, this larger, more modern facility will become the new site of US Foods’ Stock Yards Chicago. The current Stock Yards Chicago location will remain open into September 2012.
