We provide sales and service throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico through our network of food brokers and distributors. Our North American distribution points include ports located in the states of New York/New Jersey, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Florida, California, Oregon and Washington.

Commitment to Quality

Our supplier in the Philippines, Peter Paul Philippine Corporation (PPPC), has been producing quality coconut-based products for nearly a century. We have consulted with and worked closely with this supplier for over five decades. In that time, we have forged a unique, collaborative and trusted relationship.

SUSTAINABILITY

Since its inception, Phildesco® Inc along with PPPC have been Socially Conscious and more recently Environmentally Sustainable.

Phildesco® Inc and its Philippine supplier actively support the local community with education and healthcare programs, including assisting the region’s coconut farmers with social, environmental and economic development programs.
