Our Business
Since our humble beginnings, we've travelled the world in search of the best products. Curiosity, intuition and enthusiasm go into every decision to bring you exciting and delicious finds. Our mission: to surprise you with exceptional creations, sometimes organic, made with respect for tradition and selected for their outstanding flavours.
We are guided by three essential principles when following our mission: the search for authenticity, discovering innovative brands and keeping a clean ingredient list.
History
A New Chapter Begins in 2026
In 2026, Acema embarked on a new phase of its history through a management buyout that combined continuity with renewal. Supported by the same passionate team and strengthened by the arrival of new leaders, the company continues its mission with a vision firmly focused on the future.
True to its values of excellence, innovation, and community, our team continues to select exceptional products from local and international sources and to offer you culinary experiences that inspire and bring people together.
A Passion That Spans Generations
Our story began more than 30 years ago in the food industry, when Acema Importations supplied fine food products from Europe and Africa to the local food industry. In 2008, a passion for fine products, authentic flavours, and discovery led two longtime friends to take the reins of the company, shaping its evolution over the years. Through rigorous selection and a constant search for new products, Acema has built a solid reputation among retailers, restaurateurs, and food enthusiasts.
Today, building on its heritage and looking toward the future, Acema remains committed to introducing customers to the best the world of fine dining has to offer and to helping them create memorable culinary experiences.
Values
The search for innovative gourmet products, original creations and organic assortments remain the most important values in guiding our decisions. We take to heart the ability to offer you local and imported products, always delicious and in line with our values.
A team at The Ready
Quality is more than just a level of service at Acema, it's a professional philosophy. From the moment the order is taken to the time of delivery, each team member takes it upon themselves to satisfy the demands of our clients. Each of our salespeople covers a well-determined territory allowing them better knowledge and understanding of their clients and their surroundings.
Our ambition is to stand apart in our industry and offer irreproachable service to those looking for specialty gourmet products.
