Rhee Brothers Inc.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhee Brothers Inc. (Korean: 리브라더스)[1] is the largest importer of Korean foods in North America. It is based in Columbia, Maryland, United States and distributes to over 1,500 retailers.
The company also imports and distributes Japanese, Chinese, and Hispanic food products. The company also operates 15 Asian supermarkets across North America.
Rhee Brothers Inc. was founded by Syngman (Steve) Rhee, who came to the United States in the 1960s, and serves as the company's chairman and CEO. His three younger brothers fill management positions in the company. The company's private brand, Assi (established in 1976), is applied to foods they import from Korea.
In 2002 the company was fined US$100,000 by the Food and Drug Administration for intentionally importing vegetable mandu (dumplings), which actually contained meat.[2]
