2018 is a milestone year for Carl Buddig and Company, as the family owned and operated company celebrates 75 years of feeding family traditions. The Buddig brand is known for convenient and affordable lunchmeat, and quality and taste are of the utmost importance to the family of owners who always ask, “Would we serve this to our families?” Family is at the heart of everything the company produces, which is a value that has been passed down for four generations since Carl Buddig founded the company in 1943.
The roots of the company began with Carl Buddig distributing meats throughout Chicago. Since those early days, the company has grown its footprint nationwide, offering signature thin-sliced lunchmeats American families have loved for generations, as well as diversifying its portfolio to encourage growth and engage consumers for more than seven decades. In addition to serving national customers for over 75 years, the company also celebrates 50 years of shipping to Canada. Currently, more than 2,000 associates call Carl Buddig and Company home, and for many, that is a family tradition in and of itself, as multiple generations of the same family have been employed at the company.
