line-up of pork, beef, turkey, chicken, and
home meal replacement products.
The Dietz & Watson marketing concept
emphasizes tremendous support and follow-up
for retailers, from advertising to marketing,
and from point-of-sale materials to
deli case sell-tags containing the nutritional

and brokers, it is able to provide
a full-service line of products for the delicatessen

Coordinated efforts by company personnel
in all divisions, working toward a common
goal, have led to a degree of dedication and
teamwork surprising in today’s world.
Nurtured by the open, honest communication
between management and employees, the
company continues to retain its characteristics
of mutual trust and dedication.
Dietz & Watson continues to seek enthusiastic
personnel who are interested in
becoming a part of the opportunities offered
by this solid, growing company. The large
number of workers who have been a part of
the company’s growth and development over
a period of many years underlines the Dietz
& Watson concept of offering good employees
“a job for life,” with an emphasis on continuing
education, training and orientation.
All this is further augmented by a family
atmosphere that extends from the owners to
the newest workers, and in turn to a recognition
by those in the production side of the
business that quality and sales go
hand-in-hand, and that both are essential to
the continued success of the business.
