In 1994, when M-C McLane International(formerly M-C International) joined the McLane Group family of companies, its 38-year heritage in global trade met with Drayton McLane's 102-year legacy as one of America's largest and most admired food wholesalers. Since then, the excellent reputations and industry leadership of both companies has proved a dynamic and powerful combination. As a third generation entrepreneur and grocery merchant, Mr. McLane took the helm of his family's then 84-year old grocery wholesaling business as President and CEO in 1978. Founded by his grandfather, Robert McLane in 1894 in Cameron, Texas, McLane Company had reached $176 million in sales when Drayton's father, Drayton Sr. "passed the torch" of leadership and vision to his son, although he remained active in the business well past his 90th birthday. From the mid-1960's to the mid 1990's, Drayton's inimitable "hands on" style, technological innovation, "trademark" cheerfulness and driving leadership propelled the McLane Company to over $7 billion in sales, at a compound growth rate of 30% per year. The McLane system became the only food wholesaler in America to offer full service distribution in all fifty States, as well as a half-dozen foreign countries. In 1991, Mr. McLane and his "family" of shareholders ceded to the long and increasingly attractive overtures by family friend and American business icon Sam Walton, and McLane Company was purchased by Wal-Mart Stores, the world's largest retail company. Soon thereafter, while remaining a Vice-Chairman of Wal-Mart and Chairman of McLane Company, Drayton formed the McLane Group with a long-loyal and dynamic team of senior executives. Following the Group's acquisition of the Houston Astros Baseball Club, other companies were added in rapid succession with focus on international expansion. While McLane International, operating in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Portugal was repurchased from Wal-Mart Stores, San-Francisco/Oakland Bay Area based M-C International was acquired, Classic Foods of Dallas was formed, along with M-Group Systems and McLane Logistics. Drayton's long-held vision for totally integrated, global data and logistics services, broadline exporting and full-service food distribution is rapidly taking shape. McLane Group's total commitment to its century-old code of "honesty, integrity and high business principles" continues to serve customers, suppliers, employees, and partners successfully and without compromise, worldwide. According to Ron Messner, President of M-C McLane International, "Creativity, persistence, quality of workmanship and service levels that consistently exceed the expectations of our customers will remain the building blocks of McLane Group for the next one hundred years.
