Our Background
Babco Foods was launched in New Jersey, USA, in 2002 by Bob and Olivia Vaz. Initially, we imported and distributed Anand brand snack products known for their superior quality, and manufactured in the Kerala and Karnataka states of India. The product line was well received and, combined with our responsive customer service and fast turnaround logistics capabilities, coverage within the northeast region of the United States quickly grew.
Within a few years our product lines grew to include food from other regions of South India, as well as Sri Lanka, catering to the demands of the Indian and Sri Lankan diaspora in the US.
We currently represents several companies as exclusive distributors of their products within the US market. We are frequently sought after by internationally recognized companies to distribute their products.
