AMERISAL FOODS
OUR PURPOSE
To deliver culturally diverse, high quality food products at competitive prices. We strive to become a leading importer of food products from Latin America.
WHY WE DO IT
Our goal is to ensure that our customers experience authentic flavors from their native countries. We believe foods and flavors from one’s native countries bring up memories and nostalgia.
MY STORY
In 2008 my Mom and I had a great opportunity to buy a company on the verge of bankruptcy. Our people were hungry for food from their natives countries and we knew we could fulfill those demands. Amerisal has been one of the biggest challenges of our lives but I thank God for having my mom next to me in this journey; together we’ve been able to change lives and succeed.
We’ve occupied every position in the company, from sorting cheese, driving delivery trucks, closing deals with supermarkets and managing operations. We are servant leaders and as such have built strong, trusting relationships with our employees and currently have a company culture based on genuine family values. The true essence of Amerisal is our employees we owe everything we have to their determination.
WHY WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Because we believe in our community, we believe in purpose, impact and legacy. We are all about empowering and motivating others to succeed. Our community is very dear to our hearts and supporting them and giving back is our passion.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WE FACED
Working capital! Everything from lines of credit to loans.
