Description Company Overview BALDOR HISTORY: When Louis Balducci rented a pushcart for $5.00 a week in 1918, little did he know that he was laying the foundations for Baldor Specialty Foods. In 1946, Louis opened a fruit stand called Balducci's Produce in Greenwich Village that flourished into a beloved specialty food shop. Food writer James Beard was a regular customer and noted that Balducci's always sold "the best of the best, at the right price."


A family business from the start, the company employed numerous family members including son-in-law, Kevin Murphy. Murphy ran Balducci's wholesale division, Baldor, so passionately that the Balducci family encouraged him to establish the business as an independent entity in 1991. Over the next decade, Baldor sustained continuous growth while maintaining the standard of excellence that made Balducci's a success. The company cemented its reputation for sourcing expertise after introducing blanched frisee to the American market. Murphy named it "Circus Frisee" after famed restaurant Le Cirque.


Today, Baldor is the leading importer and distributor of fresh produce and specialty foods in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The company is headed by Kevin's son, T.J. Murphy, C.E.O. Under his leadership, Baldor remains committed to customer service, quality and innovation.
