When starting anything new, and especially when launching a new product, it is always beneficial to begin with the end in mind. Planning is key and there are many tools and checklists available. An effective way to alleviate some of the stress related to launching a new product is to work with a contract manufacturer, like Crossroads Industrial Services.
Real Food Blends partnered with Crossroads Industrial Services to help provide quality service to its customers. Julie and Tony Bombacino started Real Food Blends in 2012 with the desire to provide 100% real food to be used via feeding tubes. Inspired by the need to supply their son AJ with quality food, Julie researched feeding-tube alternatives and began blending real foods when AJ was 10 months old.

When we first met the folks at Crossroads Industrial Services (CIS), we knew right away that we wanted to partner with them. The amazing work they do to employ and empower people with disabilities is amazing and inspirational. As parents of our own special needs son (AJ), my wife (co-founder and CEO of Real Food Blends) Julie Bombacino and I are proud to work with the team at CIS. It’s been really rewarding and easy to work with them to date and we look forward to partnering more in the future as we continue to grow Real Food Blends.
