Effective Brand Representation

While many of the Chicago food brokers were merged or purchased by larger national organizations, Proactive Sales stayed independent and concentrated on servicing the manufacturers we represented and the customers we serviced. Over the years we represented many brands that were #1 within their given categories. Brands such as: Krusteaz Pancake Mix, Filippo Berio Olive Oil, Dececco Pasta, Hormel and the list goes on.

Along the way we also represented many celebrities that were involved in the food and beverage business such as Ron Santo, Jim Harbough, Mike Ditka, Phyllis George, Vince Neil, Chris Bridges (Ludacris), Ben Flanik, Pauly D. and Mario Andretti.

- Mike Ditka

Many of these celebrity brands performed very well in the market, but the most successful was the Ditka Brand. Currently, many of the Ditka Brands are# 1 in their respective categories. But, the most successful item within the Ditka portfolio was the Ditka Wine. We gained distribution on Ditka Wine across the country and thus Promark International Distributing was started in 2005. We then began to take possession of many food and alcoholic beverages during that period.

We now distribute many brands of food, wine and spirits throughout the State of Illinois to both On and Off Premise Customers.
Promark is licensed to import and distribute alcoholic beverages.
Promark now has 3 warehouse locations in Naperville, IL.
Our strength is in our ability to import, warehouse and distribute for much less than our competitors. Our warehouses are temperature controlled in order to insure your product is safe and secure.
We are fully licensed by the TTB and ILCC.
