WADO Partners

About Us

At WADO, we understand that quality, reliability, and a competitive edge are the keys to success in the food industry. Developing private label programs for national and regional retailers requires the utmost attention and diligence for every aspect of the supply chain. Having a comprehensive understanding of food safety and quality controls are necessary. We partner with leading suppliers both domestic and international, that have the most advanced and up-to-date quality credentials; with a proven track record of supplying the strictest of markets.

For the US market this means being well informed and proactive with FSMA requirements. We stay on top of pesticide and food legislation in our export markets too to be sure our suppliers meet all necessary requirements.

Consistency and attention to detail is crucial to a smooth flow of business. We stay “on top of it,” proving to be a true asset to both our suppliers and customers in the development and carrying out of business.

Our company model is very direct and competitive. For business to be sustainable, it has to be competitive. With our experience and connections in logistics, we work hard to seek out advantages in freight to get your product directly to the end user. With a wide network of quality suppliers and buyers, our goal is to assist both in reaching your targets and creating long lasting, meaningful business. Our belief is that the best sourcing strategy is built with an eye to your long term business objectives along with competitive pricing. Whether that means finding new products or ingredients to grow your catalog or providing alternative origins to reduce the risks of depending on one region, WADO will work with you on your unique position with the goal of growing together.

We are passionate and driven by what we do and we are thrilled to partner with you!
