Paradigm Group proudly announces alliance with Shealy Coffee

Syosset, NY - October 27, 2008 - The Paradigm Group announced today that it has partnered with distributor Shealy Coffee of Columbia, SC.  The OCS professionals at Shealy Coffee have been the premier OCS distributor in the midlands for almost 20 years.  Robert Foster, regional Vice President said, “Shealy has made a commitment to greener practices and its increasingly overwhelming popularity by becoming a full line Emerald Brand dealer.  They are really excited to hit the ground running, particularly with our break room/food service items and our new biodegradable “Eco-liner” garbage bags.”  Shealy Coffee has increased their service area to the entire state of South Carolina by recently acquiring a 12,000 square foot facility and adding larger trucks to their fleet in order to deliver a broader base of products.

Becky Shealy of Shealy Coffee said, “Our core customers want to implement greener practices and we want to be the group that provides the products and the knowledge to help them reach their goals.  We feel we are better versed in the “green” break room disposable products space now that we’ve teamed up with Paradigm.”

Foster added, "Shealy Coffee services some of the largest firms in the Columbia metropolitan area and the state.  Becky and her team really understand their customer’s needs due to great relationships.  Shealy Coffee is truly the ideal distribution partner for our Emerald brand."
