Timothy Metzger
President
Metzger Specialty Brands, Inc.


Tim Metzger is president of Metzger Specialty Brands and the owner of Washington State's Tillen Farms range of pickled specialty vegetables, selling to a network of distributors and retailers nationwide. After nearly a decade in sales and marketing for traditional branded companies, including Procter & Gamble and Dannon Yogurt, Tim's initial effort with specialty foods was with Pasta & Cheese, specialty pasta shops in New York City, where he introduced fresh packaged pasta into the supermarket trade. The company went public three years later and within a year, was sold to Carnation, and is now a $250MM brand under the Buitoni label. Tim also gained invaluable importing experience during his nine-plus years as vice president of sales and marketing for specialty food importer, The Gilway Co.
