Decades moving goods between continents. Now, at the service of your production
We have been in international trade for more than 30 years: customs, logistics and domestic and international transport. Since 2016, through Prida Import and Export LLC, we have moved more than 200 containers a year from Latin America to the United States. Since 2023, through Prida Europa, we have shipped more than 50 containers from Latin America to the European Union, and we now put that expertise at the service of the food industry with our Native Essence brand. When you write to us, you speak directly to the decision-maker.
