Description

The majority of the management staff have been with AMFEX for over 10 years and we are all very proud of the growth of our origination and look forward to many more years of providing exceptional service to our customers.

AMFEX began to provide this specialized service for just two customers, yielding a gross revenue of about $5,000 per month and working out of a 2000 Sq. Ft. facility near the New Jersey port. Within two years AMFEX had relocated to a 10,000 Sq. ft facility and increased our customer base and revenues substantially. The next step in our growth was to expand to 20,000 sq. ft and to begin providing chilled and frozen services. This added service was started by the purchase of four refrigerated sea containers and using them to hold and work products.

Although AMFEX is not a direct exporter, distributor, or export broker, our years of experience and numerous industry contacts can often be utilized to assist customers in expanding and/or entering the international market . For many companies that are unfamiliar with the international market or just do not want to deal with the complexities of international paperwork, payments and other intricacies, AMFEX can assist in establishing relations with highly qualified international representation.

American Food Export Service, Inc (AMFEX) was established in 1997 specifically to provide specialized services to the U.S. food export industry. It was recognized that a service was needed to assist U.S. food exporters in meeting the varied labeling & dating requirements of each destination country. The area that was first recognized as having a strong need for such a service was the Middle East. Almost all Middle East countries require Arabic ingredient labels as well as product production and expiry dates applied to each retail item.

Many countries require that all ingredients and other product information be listed in the destination county’s language. Others require that the name and contact information for the importer be listed on each item and be in the applicable language and still others require both. In addition to the legal requirements, ingredient identification in the applicable language makes good marketing sense. In addition artificial flavorings and color additives can also require special code changes and language translation.
