The first company of the CEDC Group, Carey Agri, was founded in Poland in July 1990. The company’s founders were William O. Carey, Jeffrey Peterson and William V. Carey, the current President and CEO of CEDC. In February 1991, Carey Agri became the exclusive importer of Foster’s and Grolsch beers, as well as Anheuser Busch products, for the territory of Poland.

Work hard, play hard. Sure. These days it's more like work hard, go home and eat potato salad. We've always found that there's something about modern living that makes it hard to be healthy. That's why we gave up our jobs over nine years ago and started making innocent smoothies. The idea was to make it easy for people to do themselves some good. And to make it taste nice too. We wanted people to think of innocent drinks as their one healthy habit; like going to the gym, but without the communal shower afterwards. We call them innocent because our drinks are always completely pure, fresh and unadulterated. Anything you ever find in an innocent bottle will always be 100% natural and delicious -and if it isn't, get on the banana phone and make us beg for forgiveness. In fact, being accountable to our customers is something that is in our blood. In the summer of 1998 when we had developed our first smoothie recipes but were still nervous about giving up our proper jobs, we bought £500 worth of fruit, turned it into smoothies and sold them from a stall at a little music festival in London. We put up a big sign saying 'Do you think we should give up our jobs to make these smoothies?' and put out a bin saying 'YES' and a bin saying 'NO' and asked people to put the empty bottle in the right bin. At the end of the weekend the 'YES' bin was full so we went in the next day and resigned.

Your support will be vital to the success of the Asahi Breweries Group as we boldly face the challenges that lie ahead this year.

Trim-Rite Food Corporation was founded as an independent custom pork boning business in 1980 with a plant in Schaumburg, IL. This positioning put Trim-Rite closer to the fresh meat supply. Trim-Rite’s main business at the time was to supply custom trimmed pork to the Oriental restaurants on the East Coast.As the business grew, Trim-Rite began to supply customers all throughout the Midwest and East Coast in all areas of the meat business. The increased customer base dictated that we move into a larger facility to handle the growing business. In 1991 Trim-Rite moved to a 37,500 square foot building in Addison, IL.Trim-Rite successfully began to fill the Addison plant with new business and began to ship products all over the world. As Trim-Rite’s domestic and international business grew, it again became apparent that more space was needed. This further growth forced Trim-Rite to move into a larger facility.In March of 2002, Trim-Rite built from the ground up and moved into a 76,000 square foot, state of the art facility in Carpentersville, IL.
