Who We Are

The “Tradition of Quality” Brought to Life

Founded with a Vision

In 1969, a visionary man named Siegfried Vieluf created Cima Meat Products, a company that manufactured sausages. The company later changed its name to Cibao Meat Products, Inc, and operated out of a 1,000 square foot facility in Washington Heights. For several years the company had only 12 employees and 4 salesmen. The first product was Salami Campesino, which became very popular within the Dominican community.

A Tradition is Born

In August 1994, Cibao Meat Products relocated to a new facility in the Bronx. The new, 11,000 square foot facility was equipped with new and modern machinery, which was able to supply 3 times our products’ demands.

The joy of having taken this major step was the reason why in November of the same year we celebrated our 25th Anniversary, launching for the first time our slogan “Tradition of Quality.”

Continued Growth and Success

Our Bronx location revolutionized our production. New equipment, new technology, and new production methods made it possible to complete the entire day’s work in the morning shift. The Cibao family continued to grow, and the building that once was big enough, today no longer is.

A New Facility

Our continued growth allowed us to purchase a new property in Rockaway New Jersey. 

It has 74,000 square feet of construction and 4 acres of land, which allow us to install a new and modern plant that triples our current production capacity.
