Montalvan’s Sales

Montalvan’s Sales is a family owned and operated import/export wholesale business owned by Marcos and Carmen Montalvan. Ethnic products have been the mainstay of the business. Since 1991， Montalvan’s Sales has been approved and licensed as an establishment of the U.S.D.A. The U.S.D.A. facility at Montalvan’s Sales is equiped for the production of various meat cuts， cured beef，pork products， sausage and chorizo making. All finished goods meet U.S. Food and Drug (F.D.A.) and/or U.S. Department of Agriculture standards. Product diversity has proven to be an important component of their success. Although the Montalvans began with only one product they now wholesale over 900 items. They offer a full range of canned meat products， fresh produce， spices， private labels including "Polynesian Treasures"， "Hellaby’s". "La Verdadera"， "La Nuestra"， "La Cocinta" and "Riquitos". As a distributor， Montalvan’s Sales imports products by container-loads， handling shipping and documentation as well as negotiations for pricing， delivery terms and communications. Early on， they established a policy of keeping stock on flexibility of packaging which helps their smaller customers stay competitive. And they have stood firmly by their belief that as wholesalers they should not also be retailing their product， thus avoiding conflicts and competition with their customers. Distribution of products now includes half a dozen of Western US states as well as several island countries in the South Pacific. THe company imports products from Costa Rica， Chile， Guatemala， Fiji， Australia， New Zealand and Samoa. 字串6
