OUR STORY


In the bustling city of New York, a visionary named Mr. Kollol Ahmed had a dream. He wanted to bring the vibrant flavours and traditional delicacies of Bangladesh to the hearts and taste buds of the Asian community residing in the United States. With this passion, he founded Premium Foods USA Inc. on a chilly winter day, January 16, 2006. As the company started to grow it took over the brand name SHAHJALAL in 2016.

From our humble beginnings, we embarked on a journey to become a leading importer, distributor, and wholesaler of Bangladeshi fish, vegetables, and snacks in the vast land of America.

From the start, we believed that quality would be the cornerstone of all our business operations. We source the freshest fish from Bangladesh’s pristine rivers and water bodies, ensuring an authentic taste and texture reflecting these aquatic resources’ purity. We also support local farmers practising organic and sustainable farming, obtaining the finest vegetables with exceptional taste and nutritional value. Our commitment to quality is further reinforced by stringent selection and inspection processes, employing state-of-the-art techniques throughout our production. Recognised for our unwavering dedication, we hold esteemed certifications such as ISO, HACCP, and BRCGS. We left no stone unturned in our quest to provide authentic flavours and a diverse range of frozen food products to our customers.

We invested in a state-of-the-art factory, Premium Fish & Agro Industries Limited, located in Sylhet, Bangladesh, dedicated to transforming these natural treasures into an enticing range of culinary delights that celebrate Bangladesh’s rich tradition.

Our efforts bore fruit as the market acceptance of Asian foods grew exponentially, even among the non-Asian population. The reputation of Shahjalal Foods soared high, fueled by the unmatched taste, quality, and appealing packaging of our product line.

Gradually, in 2017, we spread our wings beyond the borders of the United States. After launching our brand named ‘Shahjalal,’ we started exporting our products to the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Australia. Currently, our business operations team is working rigorously to expand into more territories, and our brand is well on its way to becoming a global ambassador of the rich culinary heritage of Bangladesh.

Today, Shahjalal Foods stands tall as a beacon of quality, authenticity, and innovation in the frozen food industry. We continue to create a symphony of flavours, preserving tradition while embracing the changing dynamics of the modern world. With each bite, we transport our customers on a culinary journey to the heart of Bangladesh, capturing the essence of its culture, passion, and vibrant flavours. The story of Shahjalal Foods is one of ambition, dedication, and a never-ending quest to bring the best of Bangladesh to the world.
