Proteins over open flame — the heart of what we do
Est. 1946 · City of Industry, CA

A family business

Three generations
of quality

What began as a single island foodservice house in 1946 has grown into a family of brands feeding kitchens across the mainland and Hawaii. The names on the door have changed; the values haven't. We still answer to the same standard our grandparents set — sell food you'd serve your own family, and stand behind every case.

That's the difference between a vendor and a partner: people who know your business, your menu, and your market — and treat your reputation like it's ours too.

What we do

One partner,
the whole cold chain

We don't just move boxes. We source, transform, and deliver — owning every link from the producer to the plate so you carry less risk and more margin.

  • Global Sourcing

    Direct relationships with vetted producers worldwide, so the protein on your menu is consistent, traceable, and priced to compete.

  • Custom Cutting & Processing

    Portioned to spec in our own facilities — custom cuts, sizes, and pack formats built around how your kitchen actually works.

  • Flavor & Marinade Development

    In-house seasoning, marinades, and flavor blends — the difference between a commodity protein and a signature dish.

  • Cold-Chain Logistics

    Temperature-controlled from dock to door. Strategically placed hubs keep transit short and the cold chain unbroken.

  • Retail & Foodservice

    From white-tablecloth kitchens to grocery freezers — pack formats, labeling, and volumes for both sides of the business.

  • Quality & Food Safety

    HACCP, USDA, and FDA programs run through every facility — documented, audited, and never assumed.

Coast to coast, and across the water

Built for
national reach

Three strategically placed hubs keep transit times short and the cold chain unbroken — from the mainland's largest metros to every island in Hawaii.

Quality & safety

Certified at every link

Food safety isn't a badge we point to once — it's a program that runs through every facility, every shipment, every day.

  • HACCP

    Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points

    Preventive food-safety controls at every critical step of handling and processing.

  • USDA

    U.S. Department of Agriculture

    Inspected and compliant protein handling under federal standards.

  • FDA

    Food & Drug Administration

    FDA-approved facilities and processes for import and distribution.
