“We’re excited to be merging with companies who share our longstanding dedication to quality and service,” said Tony Catelli, president and CEO, Catelli Brothers, Inc. “They, like us, are family-oriented businesses and have worked hard to earn a reputation for producing the highest-quality products using industry-leading food safety and traceability standards.”
The new company, now one of the largest veal and lamb purveyors in the country, will serve the retail and food service industries throughout the U.S. with veal and lamb under such brands as Catelli Brothers, Catelli Brothers Italian Bistro, Lido Gourmet, Chef’s Reserve, and Summit Ridge. All the merging companies will continue to operate independently under their existing corporate structures and brand names but through their affiliation these brands will now have national as well as regional distribution capabilities.
