Manufacturer Partners
Collaborate with Leading Foodservice Distributors
A manufacturer partner collaborates with leading foodservice distributors through structured partnership programs designed to build business relationships and drive industry growth. These partnerships enable manufacturers to engage with IFDA’s distributor network at national events, conferences, and forums, creating valuable opportunities for networking, product exposure, and strategic collaboration. IFDA offers different partnership levels to accommodate both established manufacturers with significant foodservice sales and smaller emerging companies seeking to expand their presence in the foodservice distribution market.
