ORC Foods was started in August 1996 by Jeanette and Gregory Bukuras. At that time Jeanette was a full time stay at home mother of two and Greg was working for a large seafood distributor in the Boston area. Jeanette liked Crab Rangoons and Greg noticed that they could not buy them in the grocery stores. First they found a company that could make Crab Rangoons. Next they developed retail packaging. Finally while Greg was at work and the children went to preschool, Jeanette went out and called on a large list of supermarkets and club stores. Before long, Jeanette had built a nice customer base. Within a year, Greg left his job and went to work at ORC Foods full time.Since they have been in business, ORC Foods has become the largest supplier of Crab Rangoons as well as Scallops Wrapped in Bacon in the country. The company supplies most major supermarket chains as well as club stores nationally and military commissaries around the world. In August 2002, ORC Foods opened their own USDA inspected plant in Needham, MA. Jeanette and Greg are both proud that in the age of sending manufacturing jobs overseas, they have been able to grow their company in the USA.
