Allen Harim, a producer and processor of chicken in the eastern United States, has established an exclusive partnership with C&S Wholesale Grocers to distribute its signature Nature’s Sensation brand of chicken to independent grocers nationwide.
“This partnership positions our company for tremendous growth moving forward,” said Jack Coleman, senior director of sales and marketing for Allen Harim. “This is the largest and most progressive distributor in the marketplace, so we are excited to see how this partnership will enhance our reach.”
Allen Harim has grown the Nature’s Sensation product line by more than 80% in the past year, and Coleman expects similar growth this year with the addition of new product offerings and private label partnerships. The company plans to continue expansion of the brand into other categories throughout 2016.
Nature’s Sensation is one of three brands of poultry available through Allen Harim, including Allen Harim traditional and Halal certified brands. All products are 100% vegetarian-fed, with no added steroids or hormones, and are hand-raised on family farms.
C&S, based in Keene NH, is a wholesale grocery supply company that operates regional distribution centers that receive products from food and grocery companies and ship them to supermarkets and other institutions. The company serves about 6,500 stores from more than 50 locations in 15 states.
Headquartered in Seaford DE, Allen Harim operates a chicken processing facility in Harbeson DE, breeding operations in Liberty NC, a hatchery in Dagsboro DE, and a hatchery and feed mill in Seaford. The company employs more than 1,600 people in the United States, as well as more than 230 independent growers and 20 company farms.
