Go-to-market is direct B2B sales with an account-based e-commerce platform that supports faster checkout, multi-address shipping, and order tracking for registered commercial customers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is domestic (U.S. national footprint), with the company marketing itself as "The Supplier of Choice." The company was founded in 2010 and acquired C&M Fine Pack in November 2011; no subsequent funding rounds, M&A, or ownership changes are documented in the available data.

Leadership is anchored by President & CEO Gary Rehwinkel, with functional VPs covering engineering (Russ Stephens), manufacturing (Stanley Garrett), supply chain (Michael Wenzel), human resources (Sandy Arneson), national accounts/foodservice sales (James Powers), and marketing (Frances Alexay Rizzo). The company operates as an independent private business; no parent company, institutional investor, or ownership structure is disclosed.
