brands is Asian Best, Eastland’s house label,
which focuses on rice products, canned
fruits and vegetables, and frozen seafood.
With more than 150 products under this
brand, consumers can find these goods
in local Asian supermarkets along with
mainstream grocery stores such as Giant,
Shoppers and Whole Foods. As Asian food’s
popularity continues to rise in the United
States, the company will keep on building
its import business.
In addition to the headquarters and
warehouse in Jessup, Eastland opened
a warehouse in Miami about two years
ago and is currently putting the finishing
touches on a warehouse in California — the
next area of the company’s expansion.
