Access Partners the west's leading independent commercial sales resource connecting manufacturers, distributors, and end users with the industry’s finest products.
Welcome to the Access Partners Facebook page. We will post relevant information to the Foodservice (non-foods) and Jan/San community here.
Access Partners has been in business for 45 years, dating back to 1969, when Tony Orfila and Rod Colato started the company which was then known as Orfila Sales Company. With only a few principals, Orifila Sales grew rapidly, being one of the very first brokers to focus almost exclusively on non-food disposables products. AS the away from home market grew, Orfila Sales grew even faster, and filled out their line and product offering to include nearly all non-food items which restaurant and commercial food establishments need to operate.
Tony became an iconic figure in industry in the process, and his company became known as one of the very best operations in the industry. In 1999, Tony retired, and soon thereafter, the company changed its name to Access Group, covering both Northern and Southern California. A refinement of the name was initiated in 2009, laying the framework for expansion into other western markets. On January 1, 2014, Access Partners merged with Ranger Marketing, who became Access Partners/Ranger Marketing.
The combined companies now employ over 50 people covering 10 western states.
