Our story

The story, in five chapters.

Why we exist, what we do, who we are, how we work with partners, and where we're going.

  1. 01 · Why we exist

    The path from a producer's line to a US shelf is long.

    Getting food made across Asia onto US shelves and into US kitchens is hard. It involves sourcing the products that sell, import rules, nutrition facts, label specs, customs clearance, freight scheduling, inventory upkeep and after-sale support. The businesses that stock and serve this food need one partner accountable for all of it.

  2. 02 · What we do

    Select, source, import, stock, deliver, support. We do the heavy lifting behind our retailers' success.

    With years in the food business, we supply retailers, grocers and restaurants across the lower 48 US states. We select quality products from across Asia, keep the import chain moving, have a solid process for managing suppliers, and support warehousing and delivery with complete online and offline systems.

  3. 03 · Who we are

    Founded by Daley and Luffy

    Ink-wash illustration — two cranes over misty water.

    Daley and Luffy are long-time friends. Chance and a shared love of food led them to start this business. They are foodies at heart. In Los Angeles, the City of Angels, the business grew from a two-person startup into an operations center of tens of thousands of square feet. The road there was full of passion, hardship, setbacks, hope and reward. Through competition and cooperation, they made many friends and were lucky to get where they are today. Both are deeply grateful for those years.

    From the start, their goal has always been to cover the whole supply chain and every sales channel, not tied to any one region, and to give their customers the most personal, highest-quality service they can. They believe empathy and business are not at odds. Treat people as you would want to be treated, and give your heart to win theirs. That is how you truly earn a customer's trust.
