Buddig will leverage its national sales and distribution network to support the Kingsford launch in supermarkets, club stores, food service and military channels
CBQ, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carl Buddig & Company, reached a multiyear agreement to produce Kingsford® branded pre-cooked ribs and barbecue entrees. Kingsford charcoal successfully entered the food category this year with the launch of Kingsford BBQ sauces and Dry Rub.
CBQ’s pre-cooked Kingsford ribs and barbecue proteins will launch nationwide in December 2017 and will feature the hardwood, slow-smoked taste that consumers love, made with simple, real ingredients and without high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors or preservatives. Under this partnership, CBQ will also transition its proprietary No Mess Oven and Grill Ready Pans, unique to the category, to the Kingsford brand.
