KeHE expands partnership with Albertsons

NAPERVILLE - KeHE Distributors has been selected by Albertsons Companies as the primary distribution partner for natural & organic, specialty and fresh products to its nationwide network of over 2,200 grocery stores in 33 states and the District of Columbia.

The partnership significantly expands KeHE's existing business with the company, particularly in the western United States.

"Our account team has delivered superior operational results and helped Albertsons Companies grow its business," said Mike Leone, KeHE's Chief Commercial Officer. "This decision is an affirmation of that."

With KeHE's new distribution center in northern California and planned upgrades this year to its distribution centers in Portland, Oregon and Flower Mound, Texas, KeHE has the infrastructure and capacity to successfully manage the Company's distribution requirements.

The expanded partnership will have a positive impact on KeHE's other customers as well. As a result of the increased business volume, service levels will be enhanced across the entire U.S. distribution network, further solidifying KeHE as a major national distribution company.
