"10 years." It's a phrase that rolls off the tongue easily. Short and sweet.

But it doesn't quite capture the length of time, a number of memories, and the feeling of pride and gratitude of being able to celebrate a decade of existing as a company.

On June 4, 2007, IMM was born from an opportunity in the market. Great Latino brands were not getting the exposure they warranted and we decided to become the architects for these brands and build them from the ground up. We started with a small warehouse, five associates, one brand and the dream to share Latino brands with everyone.

Fast forward to 2017, and ten years later, we've experienced everything and anything. From having a truck stolen on our first week to getting certified as a Great Place To Work, we've seen, heard, shared, experienced, and yes, eaten it all.

We're a team of more than 150 people from 13 different nationalities, and it's our different Latino cultures that bring us together under one same passion. Our teamwork and our purpose have gotten us to where we are, but the credit also belongs to our customer and our partners. So thank you. To our customers, for trusting us to bring the best products and your willingness to try new products for your own customers. And to our partners, for giving us the opportunity to share the best Latino brands with our customers. It's been fun, educational, and memorable and we hope to grow with you as you grow as individual companies.

It has been a wonderful journey, full of many lessons as we've grown as a company and as people with every passing year. People have come and gone, operations have opened in different cities, offices have moved within the same city, but one thing has remained constant. It's the thing that drives us, leads us, unites us, and motivates us. It's our clarity of purpose. Since day one, we've defined our values and coupled them with the knowledge of where we're going and what we want: for everyone to enjoy the best Latino brands.

"10 years." Rolls off the tongue easily. Short and sweet. But too short for our taste; we're aiming for more.
