East Bay International Inc. is part of a family run business established in 1955 to service the retail and foodservice industries in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the years the company has expanded to offer a variety of services and products. The company's success is based on quality service that allowed us to keep customer loyalty for many years.
In 1982 we began to venture into the international marketplace with a well-known U.S. fast food franchise as our first customer, which also was just venturing into the global expansion. Having no international experience in 1982, we took the opportunity as a challenge and learned every aspect of international business as it related to our activities. This experience gave us the needed skills that were required to offer the quality service that our customers deserved. In 1990 East Bay International, Inc. was born. We continued to expand our exports to 35 countries taking on logistic responsibilities for two more, well established US franchises. We have used our international experience and contacts to diversify our business activities and have enabled us to offer products and services to many countries around the world.
