HOMEWOOD, Ill. - Carl Buddig & Co., based here, one of the country's leading suppliers of private label, thin-sliced meats, has been named Supervalu's 2004 "Supplier of the Year." The Minneapolis-based supermarket retailer presents the award annually for outstanding performance.

The nomination and selection of the "Supplier of the Year" are determined based on the recommendation of buyers and merchants at Supervalu's retail store network, which includes Cub Foods, Shop'N Save, Shoppers Food Warehouse, and Scott's Foods.
