Lipari Foods Transportation Details
In 1963 Jim Lipari formed Lipari Food Distributors in order to continue distribution of Bazzo's and Bella Mia brands, created by Jim and his partner. Other products continued to be added to the Lipari product line. In 1967 when Frank's Tea & Spice appointed Lipari as their distributor and Jim was soon known as the "spice man" and his customer base included many independent supermarkets. Jim's son Thom started working at Lipari Foods. With the purchase of their second building came two walk-in coolers. Soon the addition of cheese, ham and salami started Lipari Food Distributors in the deli business. As Lipari continued to master the deli business they moved to their third location for expanded space. In 1983 Thom had an idea to sell frozen dough to bakeries. Lipari was the first company in southeastern Michigan to market in-store frozen dough to bakeries and independent grocers. In 1995, Lipari moved once again to accommodate sales and product expansion. Over the past 15 years Lipari Foods has experienced tremendous growth. The growth has come in many forms: acquisitions of distribution businesses, partnerships with several wholesale warehouses, and product expansion into packaging, seafood, and confections. In 2006 Lipari Foods built its current facility to customize space, technology, and accommodate anticipated future growth. Now, as a leading food distributor in the mid-west, Lipari Foods is servicing more than 16 states including Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minneapolis, Missouri, Florida, and more! We currently have over 1200 employees in our marketing area servicing our accounts. With our 'Take Care of the Customer' approach, we have made it our mission to make customer service our focus.
