Coffee Distributing Co. (CDC) was founded in 1963 by brothers Samuel and Louis Friedman, who entered the office coffee business with the acquisition of Coffee Dispensing Company in 1966.

By the mid-1980s, CDC had become the NY Metro area's largest office beverage supplier by combining innovation with a devotion to providing superior service.

In 2011, the company became part of the Canteen Division of Compass Group USA, the leading foodservice management group worldwide with over 500,000 associates. Though now part of a huge company, CDC still operates with the same family-company focus on customer satisfaction that has made it the industry leader.
