Castellini Co. expands, combines three companies

“The goal of the expansion and unification was to simplify Castellini’s entire supply chain for the benefit of its cus-tomers and the company’s future,” said Thomas Federl, communications director.

The Wilder, Ky.-based Castellini Co. has “re-branded” and consolidated three companies — including Independence, Ky.-based Crosset Co. and Dry Ridge, Ky.-based Grant County Foods — under one new Castellini umbrella and location, as well as expanded the Castellini facility in Wilder, said Thomas Federl, communications director.

“The goal of the expansion and unification was to simplify Castellini’s entire supply chain for the benefit of its cus-tomers and the company’s future,” he said.

“Consolidated inventories speed turnover, while clarity in grower/buyer strategies aligns Castellini’s interests with its customers.”

Later in 2020, the company also will introduce a newly designed warehouse management system (WMS), as well as its own custom operating system, Federl said.
