In 1972, the ‘A LA HENRI brand began under the direction of Bob Heilman, Sr. in Lattimer Mines, PA.  The most popular item produced was a skin-on chicken breast stuffed with Pennsylvania Dutch Style Bread Stuffing.  Using an Old Family Recipe, Bob Heilman, Sr. created each Handcrafted product from scratch.  ‘A LA HENRI also pioneered and manufactured the chicken finger which holds a distinct trademark to this day – “If It Doesn’t Say ‘A LA HENRI’ They’re Not Chicken Fingers”

Mr. Heilman enhanced the Family Business and moved his production facility 70 miles to the Eastern part of the state in Mount Bethel, PA in 1986.  It was in this facility where the Heilman Family created over 200 different products which were delivered throughout the United States.  Thus, ‘A LA HENRI became a household name.

In 2004, a  national poultry corporation reognized the quality and integrity of the products produced by’A LA HENRI and purchased the family business.  Subsequently, the corporation dismissed the ‘A LA HENRI  brand not realizing the efforts and handcrafted artistry involved with each product.

Heilman Foods, Inc. was created in August of 2009 and in May of 2010 the ‘A LA HENRI name was back in the Heilman Family’s possession.

In October of 2014, Heilman Foods, Inc. was purchaed by the DeCarbo Family and ‘A LA HENRI, INC.was created to carry on the vision of Bob Heilman, Sr.  In order to fulfill that vision, the DeCarbo Family along with the expertise and knowledge of  Bob Heilman, Jr. is determined to re-build and resurrect the ‘A LA HENRI legacy.  That legacy is comprised of hard work, integrity, honesty, and most importantly trust.  Our customer base is built on relationships, we want to ensure our customers that they can count on our products being produced are comprised of the Highest Quality in the industry.  We have taken the same principles of creating our handcrafted products as Bob Heilman, Sr. did when he started ‘A LA HENRI in it’s inception and will continue to do so in the future.  We look forward to growing with our coustomers for years to come and give them the value, quality and the freshest products that they are accustomed to and deserve…
