OUR STORY

About Us

Caldwell Brokerage was established in 1980 by Jackie Caldwell. With his years of experience and his desire to succeed, CBI has thrived and grown into one of the most successful privately owned food brokers in the Southeast. In 1987 Lisa Caldwell Welch joined Caldwell Brokerage. For over 31 years, Lisa has succeeded in growing the business using her ability to identify new sales opportunities and create an effective and successful sales presentation. The key to Lisa’s success is the ability to develop strong relationships within the industry by providing optimal customer service, her commitment to excellence and final results. In 2014 Caldwell Brokerage became a Texas Corporation and changed its name to CBI Associates Inc. (CBI).
