Founded by Frank Callahan in 1959 as a manufacturer rep business. We cover the six New England states, and the capitol area of New York, calling on full line paper distributors, wholesales and institutional Foodservice distributors, Jan-San and restaurant dealers.

Our sales force is comprised of 8 outside sales people, all with more years experience than we wish, myself with 30 years and 3 others with more than 20 years. All but one has an excess of 15 years.

Our concentration has historically been in food service, however since the late 1980’s we have become a strong supplier to the Jan-San industry, which has now moved into all the sectors we supply.

We have a staff of six inside sales service personnel who support our outside sales force. Our sales associates are dedicated to each sales person and their customers, giving the customer a knowledgeable and consistent team of support. We also have additional support in a General Manager, complete clerical staff, and a person dedicated to the marketing of our lines.

Being a successful manufacturer representative is only a part of the Callahan family commitment.

We also have a wholesale business as well. The business runs side by side with the rep business and for many appears to be the same. We use the same inside support team and sales staff for both companies.

Callico is the name of the redistribution company, and sells only to the distribution community, no end user sales. This has proven to be a valuable tool for the manufacturer as well as the distributors of all sizes. It allows us to reach the full spectrum of distribution and helps us develop our customer’s business through easy access to the product. Very often we build these customers into direct buying customers when it meets their needs.
