Ross Upstate
Sales & Marketing

Our mission is to provide the highest level of commitment to our customers and to the principals we represent. Our goal is to utilize our knowledge and penetration of all classes of trade in our marketing area to maximize sales and profitability of the products we represent.

From Zimmerman Sales Company to Upstate Confectionery Sales to Ross Upstate Sales and Marketing, our tradition of excellence continues. Each company in succession has grown the product portfolio from strictly confection in the beginning, to a well-rounded market focused company with representation not only in confection and food, but most consumer product areas. We strive for consistent growth for the manufacturers we represent, and seamless order to delivery processes for the customers we supply. Market development plans, sales support and creative thinking are all part of the package supported by Ross Upstate Sales and Marketing today. We continually receive merit awards for outstanding sales achievement by many of the principles we represent.
