Club Chef has been Castellini Company’s value-added arm since 1978, when Bob Castellini, Chairman of the Castellini Company, acquired the processor in response to customer demand for fresh pre-cut items. Bob saw the paradigm shift to fresh-cut fruits and vegetables in the foodservice industry and was able to capitalize on that trend.
Club Chef has grown from a small local processor into one of the largest regional processors in the country. The company serves most all of the major customers in the foodservice sector. Today Club Chef operates out of a 210,000 square foot facility based in Covington, KY, processing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables seven days a week – 24 hours per day.
