Our Clients

We started working with CMI during the pandemic, when another supplier was unable to provide us with our contracted items. They stepped up and helped us get through some difficult times. When the market started to even out, we worked with them on our entire disposables category to find millions in savings. They have been a great partner through one of the most tumultuous times we have ever experienced.

Ian Snyder, Senior Supply Chain Manager for Charleys Philly Steaks | Bibibop | Lennys Grill and Subs

Visible and responsive, CMI provides high-quality products with a personal touch. They were efficient and effective for our operations, providing us with products that traveled well, were priced right, and were successful at getting meals out the door. They are a collaborative packaging, technology, and distribution solutions partner focusing on your company, big or small.

Bryan Groc, Head of Supply Chain and Information, PDQ

We achieved significant cost savings by adjusting our packaging, initially reaching 30-40% savings and eventually another 20-30%. It was a remarkable achievement in the fast-food industry.

Steve Erickson, President PDQ

CMI has quickly become a strategic business partner to Tropical Smoothie Cafe. They understand our unique business needs and deliver unparalleled customer service to meet those needs. We’ve quickly learned they are a ‘yes’ supplier that can make the impossible, possible.
