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.
