	Quirch Foods Co. was founded in 1967 as E&G Trading by Guillermo Quirch Sr. and his two sons, Eduardo & Guillermo Jr. The Quirch family’s involvement in the food industry dates back to the early 20th century when Guillermo Sr. managed a meat packing and distribution company in Havana, Cuba. Forced into exile by the revolution of 1959, the family founded a meat distribution company, Oriente Comercial, in Puerto Rico, and then E&G Trading in Miami, Florida. The company was re-incorporated as Quirch Foods Co. in 1999, and is now managed by Guillermo Jr.’s three sons, Guillermo III, Ignacio, and Mauricio. What began as a small family outfit with five employees has become a major wholesale distributor with 4 distribution centers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and over 400 employees. The company’s product line has grown from a few staple meat and seafood items to thousands of different products in all of the major perishable food categories: meat, poultry, seafood, processed meats, dairy, and frozen foods. In 2008, forty years after the company's founding, Hispanic Business magazine ranked Quirch Foods as the 11th largest Hispanic-owned company in the United States.
