Espa-Fil Import & Export Corp.

Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines • 35 Employees

Founded in 1987 by Pablo and Maria Luisa Garcia-Morera, Espa-Fil Import Export Corp. stemmed from the desire to introduce the best of Spanish and other European food products to the Filipinos. Espa-Fil began its operations in the bustling commercial district of Sta. Cruz, Manila. The first products Espa-Fil introduced were canned fruits and vegetables by well-known Spanish brand, Molinera. Olive oils and canned tomatoes by the same brand soon followed, and since then have become staples in many Filipino kitchens.After the success of Molinera, Espa-Fil began importing several other products such as juices by Don Simon, and wines from J. Garcia Carreon. Espa-Fil's own brand, Capri, has also been well received by consumers, restaurants, and hotels all over the Philippines. 6 years after its establishment, Espa-Fil outgrew its home in Sta. Cruz and in 1993, transferred to its current location at #5 Cordillera St., Mandaluyong City.Patience, determination and vision fueled the ever-increasing momentum of Espa-Fil. With its workforce expanding from 3 to more than 80, Espa-Fil currently has 3 warehouses to accommodate its stockpile of almost 200 different items. Primarily importing only Spanish food products, Espa-Fil has, through the years, developed a wider array of products from Europe. Although Spain is still the dominant supplier, some products now come from other European countries such as Italy and Greece.
