Allied Food Distributors has relocated its operations to Consco Foods’ 140,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art distribution centre, following its acquisition by the Quebec-based protein importer, exporter and master distributor.

While Allied is now fully integrated into Consco’s infrastructure, it will continue to operate independently on a day-to-day basis as a division of Consco Foods. The arrangement is designed to preserve the strength of the Allied brand and its long-standing relationships, while enhancing service, product offerings and national reach.

“We’re passionate about the kosher space and see this as a tremendous opportunity to grow with best-in-class product offerings and brands,” said Ronnie and Mikey Cons, co-presidents of Consco Foods, in a news release.

“The addition of Allied as a division of Consco allows us to expand our offering with the right partners, the right brands, and a strong commitment to service.”

The transaction also makes Consco the exclusive Canadian importer and distributor for Agri Star Meat & Poultry, known for its Aaron’s Best line of deli products, effective Friday.

“Allied has been a trusted name in kosher food distribution for decades,” said Mitchell Weitzman, vice-president of Allied. “We’re proud to bring it together with Consco and look forward to expanding the business with additional lines that meet our customers’ evolving needs.”
