DPI Mid Atlantic is the premier full-service specialty food distributor in the Baltimore, Washington DC, Richmond/Norfolk and southern Pennsylvania markets. We are the only facility combining full-line perishables and dry specialty products under one roof. We are also unique in our ability to deliver multiple temperature items on one truck to better serve our customers.

DPI Mid Atlantic is the successor company of the 2001 merger of DPI Halperin, a specialty perishable distributor started in 1963, and DPI-C&G, a dry specialty grocery distributor which began operations in 1973.

DPI had acquired Halperin Distributing in 1989 and C&G Distributors in 1998. Both companies were started by industry veterans who built their businesses stressing customer service. DPI added financial security as well as industry knowledge to these already successful operations.

Our delivery area encompasses Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina, with our own fleet of 50 all-temperature trucks, and from Maine to Florida with common carrier and Cross Dock.
