Cardinal Foods, LLC

Cardinal Foods a domestic Marketer, Manufacturer and Distributor of traditional, specialty and value-added fruit and vegetable ingredients. These products are currently manufactured in North Carolina with a short-term eye on growth in the southeast and then to other concentrated growing areas nationally. CF may also be engaging in other complimentary business ventures as the opportunities arise in the future. It is the intention of management to grow the business revenue exponentially within five years. This growth will come via customer demand in various channels, participating in both traditionally available products and new products aligned with the global food growth trends (e.g. healthy eating, cleaner label). Team, product and processes are critical to our success as we are recruiting high performers with extensive experience that can perform and manage multiple functional responsibilities. Our lean organizational structure, headquartered in Burgaw, NC and doing business there, will allow CF to control cost and achieve its profitability targets. As a lean organization, it is required that we maintain a collaborative work environment with focus and dedication to achieving the desired results. The goal of CF is to build a team of members who are honest, hardworking and show ability even without experience as these characteristics will enable our company to continue to prosper and remain at the top of the industry. With our location close to the coast we exemplify a laid back, family-oriented environment that truly encourages productivity and innovation.
