- Berkeley Contract Packaging

Their ability to be flexible with us was a huge feature for us. We were the first to come in with 16,000 items and make them an extension of our warehouse. They were great with it.

- C2F

Allen is flexible and was willing to work with us as we grew. We developed a great rapport, and they became an extension of our operations. I’m able to deal directly with the leaders, and I know I can get what I need by making a phone call to one of them.

- Cytosport, makers of Muscle Milk

The people at Allen are very responsive to all our needs and requests, even when we give them little lead time. They work hard to make sure our customers are provided with the service that they have become accustomed to.
