19th Century Roots
Our company lineage traces its early roots back to the mid-1800's in the rich, fertile farming region of the Pearl River Delta in South China. At the turn of the century just prior to the big earthquake in 1906, the first-generation great grandfathers of the family immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area in search of better opportunities in what they called the "Gold Mountain," the old Chinese term for California.
They stayed true to their passion for food, specializing in seafood, poultry, and produce. As their businesses flourished and expanded, they shared their knowledge and prosperity, helping many others succeed in this new land as they once did.
20th Century Expansion
The succeeding generations further diversified into new industries, propelling the entire business forward. With years of experience and deep-seated connections developed from the days of the family forefathers, the 2nd and 3rd generations expanded business interests internationally, while still keeping the family roots firmly in Northern California. Seafood exports to Asia remained a focus, while specialty frozen sushi laid the groundwork for the IQF product line today.
The success and longevity of the family business is due in large part to the old fashioned values held by the first generation. Their work ethic, business integrity, and focus on long-lasting relationships remains a core part of the current generation's business values.
