Aladdin is a regional company, founded in 1978, that maintains a closeness to all of our accounts. At Aladdin, we like to say that "We are big enough to serve... but small enough to care."

Our magic begins with this basic principle - our clients deserve the best service at the most economical cost. This simple statement is the foundation of everything we do. We strive to produce a high quality product, to pay fair wages to our employees, and to conduct ourselves as good corporate neighbors in the communities where we work and live.

Aladdin acquired Dowling in December of 2004 to widen it’s presence in the K-12 market.  The Aladdin-Dowling acquisition has expanded the support Dowling is able to give its clients in areas such as: Corporate Dietician, Corporate Chef, Human Resources, etc.  Dowling is proving daily that it is a leader in the K-12 market segment.
