The Marx family emigrated from Germany in 1884. The first generation soon set up a cattle dealing business in the New York Metropolitan area, establishing the foundation on which The Marx Companies are built. In the following decades, the family grew the company into a large meat processor and further expanded wholesale, foodservice and direct-to-consumer distribution. Today, The Marx Companies serves these distinct markets with specialized, hands-on customer support and industry expertise with offices in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey and Seattle, Washington.
