Our Partners & Customers for Poultry Products

AlaTrade provides fresh and frozen custom poultry processing for commercial operations that need precision work at volume. Our plants handle deboning, marination, dicing, and portioning to customer specifications. We structure each partnership around the customer's business model through toll processing, co-packing, or direct supply arrangements.
Commercial Food Service

Commercial Food Service

AlaTrade processes poultry for foodservice distributors across the country. Our lines produce custom cuts, marinated products, and portioned formats that these companies sell to restaurants, cafeterias, and other foodservice operations. Distributors receive the spec they ordered on the first delivery and on every subsequent delivery.

Custom Marination Programs

Our tumble marination systems process chicken according to proprietary recipes provided by distributors or their restaurant customers. The marination profile stays consistent from the first production run to the last, regardless of order volume.

Restaurant-Ready Cuts and Portions

We cut and portion products to meet menu requirements for distributor restaurant accounts. Our lines hold the same cut dimensions and portion weights across orders of any size.

Retail

Retail

AlaTrade co-packs poultry products for grocery stores and warehouse clubs nationwide. Our plants process chicken under customer brand names from raw material through final consumer packaging. These finished products meet retail compliance standards and arrive ready for distribution to store locations.

UPC-Scannable Consumer Packaging

Co-Packed Retail Products

We process chicken sausages, marinated breast filets, and portioned cuts packaged for consumer purchase. AlaTrade handles recipe formulation, processing, and packaging under the customer-provided retail brand.

National Chains

National Chains

AlaTrade processes poultry for QSR chains and multi-location restaurant groups operating nationwide. These companies buy directly from us instead of going through integrators or third-party suppliers. We process chicken to their exact menu specifications at the volumes needed to supply thousands of locations.

Direct Supply Partnership

Chains can purchase poultry directly from AlaTrade without integrator markups or supply chain delays. We process chicken to chain specifications and ship directly to their distribution centers or individual restaurant locations.

Consistent Menu Items Across Locations

We cut, marinate, and portion chicken to match signature menu items at every restaurant in the chain. AlaTrade can replicate existing products or process new items to the specifications provided by the chain.

Contract Food Manufacturers

Contract Food Manufacturers

AlaTrade serves further processors and contract food manufacturers that need bulk deboned poultry. These companies buy raw materials from us to package and sell under their own brand names. We provide both toll-processing services and direct bulk-supply arrangements.
