How the Del Bene Family Built a Legacy of Quality
DelBene is a family company, started by Anthony, Fred, and Tom DelBene in Detroit’s Eastern Market.
Since 1988, the DelBene family has been dedicated to providing exceptional service and delivering high-quality produce to our customers. Started with one truck and a few customers, we now serve customers throughout Metro Detroit and across Michigan.
Today, we proudly serve restaurants, institutions, and other businesses with a modern fleet making deliveries six days per week. Even as we have grown, DelBene remains committed to the core values that have defined us since we started.
Our Core Values
Delivering Quality Products
Quality is our top priority. We source produce from all over the state, country, and around the globe to ensure we provide the best products possible. Understanding that the quality of produce can be affected by weather and market demands, we strive to keep our customers informed and updated on the latest produce conditions.
Providing Exemplary Services
We are dedicated to offering outstanding services to all our customers, including area restaurants, conference centers, sports facilities, banquet halls, country clubs, and other premier businesses. Motivated by the chefs we work with, we are passionate about bringing their culinary visions to life.
Building Long-Term Relationships
As experienced produce distributors and businesspeople, we focus on exceeding customer expectations and fostering long-term relationships. Our expanded warehouse facility features a state-of-the-art cooling system to maintain the freshest produce possible, ensuring we can supply a variety of wholesale fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items year-round to our metropolitan Detroit customers.
As leaders in the produce distribution industry, we are proud to be part of the current restaurant renaissance in the Metro-Detroit area. At Del Bene, our commitment to quality, exemplary service, and enduring relationships continues to drive our success and growth.
