KeHE Distributors Completes® Acquisition of DPI Specialty Foods
A note from KeHE President & CEO Deb Conklin
For more than 70 years, KeHE has been dedicated to being a source for good while always working to deliver next-level offerings that support our valued partners and the evolving needs of consumers. As we embark on the next chapter in KeHE’s history, I am energized by the opportunities to further our mission and enhance our position as the preferred supply chain partner in North America.
Combining forces with DPI Specialty Foods unlocks robust fresh market capabilities enables KeHE’s supplier partners to reach new customers and market. Together, our decades of complementary experience, leadership and category expertise will enable retailers to respond more quickly to customer demand, offer additional supplier opportunities and deliver enhanced consumer experiences.
Our now expanded footprint includes over 7 million square feet of warehouse space, 19 distribution centers, 31,000 customers, 6,100 suppliers, and more than 80,000 SKUs.
Both of our organizations share a deep commitment to our people, serving others and performance. This transaction represents an opportunity to capitalize on our strengths to become an even greater source for good.
KeHE and DPI will continue to operate as is while the organizations work to implement an integration plan.
