In 1979, Cathay L.A. Inc. (commonly known as Cathay Company) was born from the visionary insight of its founder, Mr. Lim. Recognizing the burgeoning need for Asian food products within the local Chinese community, Mr. Lim commenced operations by vending a modest selection of items on the bustling streets of Chinatown in Los Angeles. Since then, Cathay L.A. Inc. has blossomed into a comprehensive wholesale distributor of food and kitchen supplies, with an extensive inventory comprising over 20,000 diverse products encompassing everything from dried goods to top-quality kitchenware.
