From a single container at Long Beach to a 12-hub pan-Asian platform. Here's how we got here.
DJR Foods is founded in California to bring importer-direct Korean and Japanese groceries to US wholesale buyers. First container of Nongshim Shin Ramyun lands at the Port of Long Beach in Q4.
Second distribution hub opens on the East Coast. Cold-chain coordinated handoff between West and East operations gives retailers consistent stock from coast to coast.
Becomes one of the first US wholesalers to carry the full Samyang Buldak series at scale. Paldo and Ottogi distribution agreements signed the same year.
Expands beyond Korean and Japanese into Chinese frozen dumplings (CJ Bibigo) and Filipino pantry staples (UFC, Datu Puti). Catalog crosses 200 active SKUs.
Reframes the business as a pan-Asian platform — single sales contact, unified case-and-pallet pricing, one purchase order across regions. Catalog reaches 360+ SKUs.
Twelve strategically located distribution hubs, 4.8M square feet of cold-chain coordinated storage, and 2,500+ retail endpoints served. Importer-direct, no middlemen, transparent case-and-pallet pricing.

HACCP Cold Chain

From a single hub to coast-to-coast.
Operators who switched.
"Lead time used to be the killer for ramen — we were running out between shipments. DJR's pallet program means we hold 3 weeks of cover at the same landed cost. Restocking is no longer a fire drill."

"I run a 4-store independent. Importer-direct pricing on Samyang + Lotte without the case minimums the big distributors push has been the difference between profitable Asian aisles and just decoration."

"They handle the FDA Prior Notice paperwork end-to-end. We used to lose 2-3 days on every container chasing labels. Now I get the same Bibigo SKU from Korea in our walk-in cooler 4 days after it leaves the factory."
