We are a full food service food distributor in Northern New York & Vermont. Glazier Packing Co. had its earliest beginnings in 1903. Howard A. Glazier started a meat and grocery store in Owls Head, deep in the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York State. In the summer months, his son Albon would make deliveries from the store into the resort areas of Indian Lake and Mountain View. In 1918, Alb
on moved to Malone, NY and opened his own store on Main Street. In 1923, Albon bought an old cheese plant on Water Street (now College Ave.), hired a German sausage maker and started manufacturing sausage, ham and bacon. The business flourished and expanded into a full fresh meat distribution house. Everest Glazier followed his father Albon into the family business, managing it until his retirement in 1971. His sons Howard, Ronald, John and daughter Mary Lee continued expanding the business by buying the McCarthy, Deno and Coultry Meat Company in 1973. A second expansion was made in 1991 by purchasing the Pahler Packing Corporation of Potsdam, NY – a slaughter plant and meat distribution center. The slaughter house operated for three years until the operation was closed down to make room for the consolidation of the sausage operation from Malone. Joining the Pocahontas Food Group in 1997, Glazier Packing Company expanded further into a full food service food distributor. The product lines include meat, poultry, frozen foods, fresh vegetables, grocery, dairy, paper products, chemicals, seafood and spices. The company services grocery stores, chain stores, delis, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, convenience stores, restaurants and government agencies throughout the North Country of New York State and into Vermont. In 2005, John’s son, Shawn returned to Malone to run the business and is now the 5th generation Glazier at the helm. Since his return, Glazier’s has gone through another series of expansions, which includes providing logistical services for retail distributors, adding a wholesale milk and dairy division and initiating a very successfully “Buy Local” program. The Glazier Family is proud of the family tradition handed down from previous generations and will continue to offer superior & personalized local service to Northern New York and Vermont.
