Import Business

In 2009, on the 10th anniversary as Sunrise Brand Management Specialists, we began our relationship with Bioitalia. From a lead by a Canadian client and a mutual Canadian broker, we met a company with fantastic authentic Italian organic products and a 14-year-old history of committed organic farming that was ready for the US Market. They wanted and needed the services we could provide.

In May of 2010 we received our Import License from the USDA and brought in the first load of Bioitalia products from Italy. We became the exclusive official importer for Bioitalia. We now bring in container loads of Organic Italian pastas, organic sauces, organic beans, organic oils, etc.
