Who We Are

Consumer Private Label Brand
Development Solutions and
Comprehensive Global Sourcing

American Essentials LLC was founded in 2008 and is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. With over 17+ years of experience, we have a proven track record in sourcing and distributing a wide range of consumer products for home and business use. Together with our sister companies, our products have reached over 5,000+ stores and Fortune 500 clients, including Kroger, HEB, Harris Teeter, Walmart, Amazon, Lowes, Sysco, and more.

In today’s global landscape, sourcing is increasingly complex due to geopolitical instability, regulatory hurdles, supplier verification, logistics, and tariff issues—especially when importing from certain high-risk or heavily regulated regions. American Essentials provides strategic, end-to-end sourcing solutions from vetted factories in countries like India, Vietnam, and Thailand to ensure quality, affordability, and compliance.

With over 1,000+ thoroughly vetted suppliers across diverse global regions and extensive experience in sourcing, logistics, and customer service, American Essentials transforms sourcing challenges into seamless business solutions.

Our global warehouse network spans the U.S. (NJ, CA, OH, IL) and Asia (India, Vietnam, Thailand), and we offer over 10,000+ products in categories such as Food and Beverage, Packaging and Disposables, Home Goods, Hardware, Apparel, and Pet Supplies.
