Our Clients
We’ve worked with clients of all sizes from around the world and in just about any industry you can name. Our most loyal clients are typically privately held businesses, not-for-profit organizations and consumer co-ops – and we have been working with some of them for 17 years or more! Although Zingerman’s as an organization is firmly ensconced in the specialty food world, our business practices are applicable to any industry. Our clients include wealth management advisers, real estate agents, dentists, doctors, hospitals, libraries, universities, brokers, bankers, brewers, artists, food, and non-food retailers, and more!
