“The Best In Select”

Source Atlantique, Inc. was established in 1991 in New Jersey. Since the beginning, we built our business by concentrating on premium European packaged foods with heritage. Our focus is on key brands in important categories.

Over the years, we have made several important acquisitions that broadened our brand portfolio and strengthened our market position – AKD Import and Export Company in 1998; the food division of Jaret International in 1991; Gourmet America, Hormel Food’s specialty food division and The Gilway Company, both in 2004. Our #1 brand, If You Care, a full line of environment-friendly kitchen and household products, was bought in 2005 from LaHarco Holding. The Peloponnese brand of Mediterranean specialties was bought from Hormel.

Source Atlantique is a member of the Food Import Group, composed of four companies:

• Rema Foods: largest U.S. importer for foodservice channels

• Sunrise Commodities: oldest U.S. importer of pistachio nuts, and currently U.S. importer of diverse nuts and dried fruits

• Sweet Dried Fruit: raisin producer and processor in Chile, and raisin importer and distributor in the U.S.

• Source Atlantique: largest independent U.S. importer of specialty foods
