Dot Foods Takes Foodservice Redistribution Concept to Mexico
Dot Foods, Mt. Sterling, Ill., announced plans to take its foodservice redistribution concept abroad via a joint venture company with Mexico-based RJ Alimentos. The new company will be called RD Amerimex.
"When Ricardo Garza-Paez [owner of RJ Alimentos] approached us several years ago about expanding the redistribution concept into Mexico, we quickly realized it was an opportunity we needed to explore," says John Tracy, chief executive officer of Dot Foods. "There are several areas outside of the U.S. where we believe the redistribution concept will work. Mexico is just one of many potential international expansion opportunities for Dot."
