  • Acosta Sales and Marketing Company is the largest sales, marketing and service company in North America. The company, with corporate headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida, was established in 1927 as a food broker in northern Florida. Growth was modest until 1974 when Del Dallas became company president and expansion was at the top of his agenda. An office in Tampa was opened and the service area expanded to central Florida. An office in Birmingham, Alabama was started in 1977. In 1981, the Miami office was opened and Acosta began serving the whole state of Florida. Dallas recognized that the company could grow faster through acquisitions, so Raley Brothers was purchased in 1983, providing an immediate presence in Georgia. Acosta began doing business in the Carolinas in 1989, effectively covering the southeast US. Thereafter, the company expanded westward into Tennessee, Virginia and Louisiana. In the mid 1990’s, Gary Chartrand became president and CEO; acquisitions accelerated across the US and Canada. The company employs 12,000 and has FY2007 revenue of $797 million.
