COMPANY HISTORY

About DFMi

Founded in 1987, D&F Marketing, Inc. quickly established itself as a premier sales and marketing partner to the transportation industry. With a focus on quality, innovation, and customer service, we deliver high-quality products, customized culinary solutions, and a wide array of options tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.

Our journey began in the airline onboard services sector, and in 1993, we expanded our capabilities with the launch of Diversified Foodservice Manufacturing (DFM). This division broadened our reach to include school foodservice programs, contract management companies, the U.S. military, and select retail channels.

Today, as DFMi, we collaborate with leading manufacturers across the globe to provide premium products and flexible solutions to airline customers worldwide. Our mission is to enhance inflight menus, elevate passenger experiences, and support our clients in delivering exceptional service—all at competitive prices.


 

WHAT WE DO

At DFMi, we collaborate with a global network of trusted suppliers to provide airlines with consistent, on-trend, and high-quality products and services. Our active presence at industry trade shows keeps us ahead of emerging trends, while our pursuit of innovative partners ensures we meet the evolving demands of the airline industry.

We go beyond sourcing — we:

  • Build and maintain strong supplier relationships

  • Negotiate competitive pricing on behalf of our airline partners

  • Monitor production timelines and delivery schedules

  • Ensure rigorous food safety compliance

  • Troubleshoot issues before they impact operations

Working hand-in-hand with airline marketing teams, we also design tailored incentive programs that create value and elevate the passenger experience.
