Fisher® Nuts and DOT Foods Deliver with New Partnership

ELGIN, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fisher® (www.fishernuts.com), a leading processor, marketer and distributor of shelled and in-shell nuts and nut-based snacks, announces its partnership with DOT Foods, the largest food redistributor in the United States.

“This mutual partnership provides great flexibility for all-sized companies and service to channels that may not be able to meet minimum orders to purchase”

Effective this month, DOT customers have been able to purchase a wide assortment of more than 300 Fisher products from their DOT Foods Sales Representative. The partnership allows foodservice, convenience, retail and vending customers as well as leading distributors to consolidate their purchases through DOT, giving them the buying power and efficiencies of bigger accounts without minimum purchase orders.

“This mutual partnership provides great flexibility for all-sized companies and service to channels that may not be able to meet minimum orders to purchase,” said Julie Nargang, Director of Corporate Marketing with John B. Sanfilippo & Son (JBSS), owner of the Fisher brand.

“Our working with DOT allows companies as small as Mom ‘n Pop stores to manage their inventories and restock items as quickly as they want – the same way a much larger account is able,” she said.

Fisher products available through DOT include roasted nuts, single serve snacking, trail mixes and baking nuts.

Fisher, as a JBSS brand, is known as a leading distributor of its own products. “We are thrilled to team up with DOT Foods to help ensure that we are living up to the tradition of excellence, flexibility and fast service that Fisher has been known for since the 1920’s” Nargang, said.
