Nourish your pet the way nature intended you to
Allen Harim was born in 2011 with the acquisition of Allen Family Foods, a highly respected Delmarva chicken company established in 1919. Our company has deep roots on Delmarva and the Mid-Atlantic. With nearly 100 years of experience, we operate poultry processing facilities in Harbeson, DE and Cordova, MD.; breeding operations in Liberty, NC; hatcheries in Dagsboro and Seaford, DE, and feed mill and corporate offices, also in Seaford. More than 1,600 employees, over 200 independent growers and 25 company-owned farms live our mission every day – ""Improving the Quality of Life and Sharing Happiness"" – with our customers, consumers and the communities in which we operate. We look forward to sharing it with you, too.
From beverage solutions and sauces to marinades and seasonings, ILLES Foods has provided custom-crafted culinary creations and R&D expertise to food service chains chains, food manufacturers, and grocery retailers across the US for almost 100 years. The family-owned and woman-run company is a key partner to companies looking for product development excellence, creativity, and speed to market paired with a laser focus on a better customer experience. The values we`ve learned and lived over the years — trust, food safety, excellence, creativity, teamwork, giving back to the community — motivate our people to help our customers be better with us than without us, and are the driving forces behind our growth. ILLES Foods was started by Austrian-Hungarian Olympian-turned-chemist Arpad Enoch (A.E.) in his home`s extra bedroom. Today the company operates two different manufacturing plants – a total of about 300,000 square feet between dry and liquid production. 2020 marked a new era at ILLES Foods, with Cristin Illes Kahale, the founder`s great-granddaughter and the fourth generation of the family, taking helm of the business.
