Founded in 1981 by Tony Leung, a native of Hong Kong and graduate of Guelph University in Ontario, Sanwa Growers Inc. originated from an agricultural initiative to grow and harvest Chinese cabbages and melons. The company's journey began with Tony’s search for winter growing areas in Florida in 1980, which led him to settle in Hillsborough County on leased land.
Under the leadership of its founders, Tony Leung and his wife Connie Leung, who joined as CFO after his arrival in Florida, Sanwa Growers Inc. expanded significantly from a small operation with five employees to a substantial entity employing over 230 people by 2002. The company has since diversified its product offerings beyond specialty Asian produce to include herbs, which became a major sales item.
Located in Tampa, FL, and registered under the state of Florida with filing number 690506, Sanwa Growers Inc. has established itself as a key player in supplying ethnic food services markets across Tampa, Atlanta, and Miami. The company's expansion includes operating distribution centers and opening its own nursery for starter plants to support employee engagement throughout all seasons.
Sanwa operates under subsidiaries like Sanwa International Wholesale Foods LLC, servicing small wholesale markets, restaurants, delis, and offering wholesale shopping without club fees, meeting the needs of diverse demographics in these regions. Their extensive reach also includes contributions to prominent community organizations such as Redlands Christian Migrant Association, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department, and others.
With a reputation reinforced by multiple awards including recognition from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Florida Department of Agriculture, Sanwa Growers Inc continues its growth trajectory. It focuses on ensuring quality, freshness, and food safety in its array of products that cater to a broad spectrum of ethnic cuisines.
