Cac China

What Cac China does

C.A.C. Foodservice (operating as "Cac China" in the input data) is a privately held, US-based commercial foodservice supply company that was founded in New Jersey in 1990 and is headquartered at 251 Circle Drive North, Piscataway, NJ. The company supplies dinnerware (porcelain, melamine, and bone china collections such as Maxwell, Bahamas, Rainforest, Palm Springs, Color Tango, Tucson, Grand Canyon, Everest, Victoria, and Niagara), flatware (Royal, Elite, Noble, Exquisite, Lux, Prime, Phoenix, Dominion, Windsor, Elizabeth, Pearl, plus newer stainless steel lines branded SCHARFE, SCHNELL, and KLINGE), countertop appliances (including the BlendKing Professional Blender), kitchen utensils and gadgets (ComfyGrip line, shears), buffet and catering equipment, steam table pans, bakeware, pizza supplies, cutlery and cutting boards, food preparation equipment, beverage and bar solutions, chef apparel, storage solutions, PPE, and merchandising displays. It carries an extensive catalog of 40+ dinnerware patterns and 11+ flatware collections sourced and sold under its own brand.

The underlying technology is non-proprietary in the digital sense: a standard e-commerce storefront (cacfoodservice.com) with filtering by collection, material, color, shape, and type, supplemented by phone, fax, and email order intake and a physical showroom at the Piscataway headquarters. There is no documented proprietary software platform, AI/ML capability, API, SDK, or app; the company's intellectual property is essentially its brand, sub-brand portfolio, and product curation rather than any in-house technology stack.

The business model is direct-to-customer B2B product sales with a transactional (one-time purchase) revenue stream and no disclosed subscription or recurring component. Pricing is not publicly listed on category pages and is instead delivered through product detail pages and a quote-based model for larger orders. Customers are foodservice and hospitality operators — restaurants, hotels, catering services, buffet venues, and similar establishments — acquired primarily through the website, an annual print/digital catalog (the 2026 catalog is current), and trade show participation. The company operates solely within the United States, has no disclosed parent company, no institutional investors, and reports a headcount of 1–10 employees.
