Getting to know our largest cold storage customer. Table Talk Pies.
Table Talk Pies, Inc., located in Worcester, MA, was started in 1924 by two Greek immigrants who came to America to build a better life for themselves and their families. Through a combination of hard work and perseverance, the two founders of the company, Mr. Theodore Tonna and Mr. Angelo Cotsidas, managed to build the strong foundation of a business that is today one of our country’s leading pie companies. The secret of their success was their unwavering commitment to producing the highest quality pie possible. It is this commitment, coupled with an emphasis on customer service, which has allowed our company to prosper for over 90 years. The second generation management and now the third generation has carried on this tradition. It is our emphasis on quality that continues to fuel our growth
