OUR HISTORY
We started in 1980, as a small family owned importing company in
Minnesota under the name of Allied Trading Company. After trying a few different
product lines, we chose the confectionary business. In 1985, we incorporated
as Allied International Corporation/ European Chocolate Shop, with our main
focus being the high-end luxury import chocolates and candies which were
a big trend in the early 1980's. We later expanded our line to include every-day
foods and sweets. As our sales volumes increased, in 1987, we moved our
operations from Minnesota to Virginia in order to be close to the ports
of Baltimore and Norfolk. In the early 1990's, we grew our product line
into diverse categories which also included non-food items. We were one
of the pioneers in developing a brand of high quality food products for
sale to the dollar and discount stores. In 2000, we established our Chicago
show room in order to better serve our customers in that region. As we continued
our growth, in 2001 we purchased a distribution center facility in Glen
Burnie, Maryland, minutes from the port of Baltimore, while keeping our
corporate offices in Virginia. Today, we continue to cultivate our business
and expand its growth. At Allied International, we attribute our success
to our dedicated and hardworking team of employees, our strong group of
international partner-suppliers and last but not least, our strong and loyal
customer base.
