The brands we supply can be found nationwide at:
Source, Customize, Import
Source
We start with manufacturers we know, close to production. No broker or trading company sits between you and the manufacturing floor.
Customize
You set the recipe, the format and the pack. We match it to a factory that already runs it and hold it to your written spec.
Import
We arrange the freight and the customs clearance and handle the import, and we hold stock in the US, so you get a delivery date.

Retailers, Emerging Brands and Foodservice
Most of what we ship goes to one of three places. Find yours and the conversation starts in the right place.
Retail and Private Label
Grocery chains and distributors with a category management function. You see the specification, the COA and the factory audit status before the program is signed, not after.
Emerging Brands
Founder-led companies where sourcing still sits on your desk. We do the manufacturer selection and the specification work you do not have a team for yet.
Foodservice and Menu Development
Multi-unit groups with culinary R&D. Noodles by format and cut, and sauces in foodservice pack sizes rather than retail units.
We are not the right supplier for consumers, home cooks, single-location restaurants or companies outside Asian food. If that is you, we will tell you on the first call rather than the third.
Questions Buyers Ask
+Which products can you private label?
Noodles, sauces and pastes, oils and vinegars, coconut and seaweed.
+Can you match a product we already sell?
Yes. Send us the current product and the pack, and we match it to a factory that already makes something close, then adjust to your spec over sample rounds.
+Where are the products made?
With partner facilities in Asia. We do not manufacture: everything is imported, and we have people on the ground in the key manufacturing regions. We do not own factories. Your product is made on the line of a manufacturer that already makes it well, and we own the specification, the QA and the import. The same product is sourced across more than one country, so a tariff swing or a factory disruption in one origin does not stop your program.
+Is this contract manufacturing or co-packing?
Close, with one difference: we do not run the line. We do not own factories. Your product is made on the line of a manufacturer that already makes it well, to your specification and under your brand. We own the specification, the QA and the import.
+What do you need from us to quote?
The product, the pack and roughly the volume. The specification is what turns a request into a quote.
+Does every lot come with a certificate of analysis?
Every lot ships with a certificate of analysis against the spec you signed.
