ETAK was founded by George Mendenhall to bring fresh and frozen food products from around the world to Hong Kong. In the beginning the company faced not only the difficulties in finding export-quality products, but also the challenges of then getting these same products to Hong Kong without compromising its quality or condition. Sea shipments during this era were infrequent and often took months to arrive and Kai Tak, Hong Kong’s international airport at the time, had very limited cargo service. So ETAK distinguished itself from other import companies by being the first to charter an all-cargo wide bodied DC-10 aircraft into Hong Kong.

Today, ETAK receives daily air shipments of fresh produce, seafood and other perishable items from around the world and weekly loads of refrigerated/dry sea containers from the United States and Australia. ETAK’s enduring history in Hong Kong includes the following list of “First” accomplishments:

ETAK is the market leader for import and distribution of quality international food products in Hong Kong. We are proud to have introduced hundreds of new and exciting products to the Hong Kong consumer over the decades.
