We are a Miami-based exporter with a presence in over 52 markets, representing the leading brands in the food industry worldwide, such as Smithfield, Butterball, and Kraft, among others. We excel as strategic partners for major supermarket chains, including Walmart and PriceSmart. Our extensive range of services includes labeling, private labels, consolidation, and deli programs, ensuring comprehensive solutions to meet market needs.
We built this business by taking American brands into markets many US vendors found too hard to serve on their own: chilled and frozen products with short shelf lives, and foreign markets with their own regulations, all in Spanish. Without a bilingual compliance and export team, the registrations, the labeling, the cold chain and the last mile hold most brands back. We made that our specialty.
The model has not changed. The scale has: today we are four times the size we were four years ago, with offices in Miami and Panamá and our own sales teams on the ground in six markets.
Today we are a team across Miami and Panamá: compliance, supply planning, order management, warehouse, customer experience, and sales managers who live in the markets they sell to. The people you meet on this page are the people who pick up the phone.
Four strengths sit behind every brand we carry and every shelf we fill.
Relationships that open doors.
We built American Foods on long-term partnerships: with the brands we represent, with some of the largest buying groups in the world, and with the retailers and distributors we serve every week. Alliances, joint ventures, technology and market intelligence multiply our reach, and yours.
Partner to leading US and European brands and the region’s largest buying groups
Present in 52 markets. Relevant in every one.
Winning abroad takes two things: command of international trade and regulation, and local knowledge of each market’s retailers, rules and shoppers. We adapt the portfolio and the plan country by country.

The partner who just gets it done.
Successful exports depend on end-to-end control and visibility. We handle everything from sourcing at origin, labeling and repacking, through USDA inspection and the cold chain, to delivery at the point of sale.

Measured on sell-out, not ship-out.
Long-term success means products selling more every year. We invest time and technology in the right mix for each market, and in category plans, planograms and in-store execution that grow the brands and categories we manage.
Category plans, planograms and merchandisers in store every week
The sequence below is the same one we run for every brand we take on, and the reason a brand ends up on the shelf instead of in a warehouse.
Our team will handle all setup in market: Sanitary registration, USDA documentation and market-compliant labeling, country by country.
We’ll work with retailers and partners on the right product mix and price for each market.
Planograms, secondary placement, POS material and in-store demonstrations across the region.
We will manage trade marketing, promotions and value-added programs to help retailers grow category sales.
Our leadership team comes from manufacturing, CPG vendors, distribution, logistics and retail club chains. That gives us a well-balanced, experienced team that has lived the same challenges our customers face every day.

We have built a company people are proud to be part of: a team across two countries that works hard and shows up for each other.
And we show up beyond our walls. Every Thanksgiving we donate turkeys to families across our communities, and year-round we support churches, schools and local organizations in the markets we serve. Community is not a program for us. It is part of who we are.
The right person on our team gets back to you within one business day.
