Global Agri -Trade also supplies high quality, <br />premium animal nutrition ingredients and energy supplements. We have grown to <br />become one of largest importers of these products in the country. <br />Founded in Los Angeles, California in 2006, we service our customers nationwide with <br />warehouse storage and distribution facilities in Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Houston, Los <br />Angeles, Oakland, Norfolk, Savannah, and Seattle/Tacoma. <br />Given the increasing demand for our products by Texas based manufacturers, <br />distributors, and farmers, we have augmented our business model to service them <br />through the Port of Houston, where have been working with local public warehouses, It <br />is our view that the time is right to invest in the long term in this market and one way to <br />do so is to operate our own facility and hire our own people, to provide high levels of <br />customer service and maintain exceptional quality standards,. We expect to make 10 — 1S <br />new hires from the local community to operate this facility. These roles will be at the <br />Manager and Supervisor levels through to Forklift operator, and they will receive the <br />15500 S Avalon Blvd <br />West Rancho Dominguez, CA 90220 <br />'Tel: 562-320-8550, Fax 562-256-7551 <br />KM <br />
