Our family business got its start in 1944, when brothers Melvin and Israel Tapick hatched the idea of selling fresh poultry from the yard behind their mother’s neighborhood grocery store. With little more than entrepreneurial pluck, and using a bicycle to make deliveries, they began selling fresh poultry and groceries to chefs in nearby downtown Houston. They named their new enterprise after their baby brother, Martin, believing his namesake would bring them good luck. Before long, prominent chefs around town were clamoring for Martin’s quality products, and their business took off. Through the years, our company has grown from its humble roots to become an industry-leading further processor, operating around the clock with a nation-wide distribution network. The core of our business remains focused on “Center of the Plate,” with premium boxed, portioned, and value-added proteins, including fresh beef, chicken, veal, lamb, and pork. We are also proud to offer expertly-sourced specialty grocery items to complement our proteins and meet the needs of the most discerning chefs, from fresh seafood, wild game, and produce, to domestic and imported fine cheeses, chocolate, and oils, to the highest quality frozen desserts and hors d’oeuvres available. ...read more
