Major Milestone: Ramar Foods Produces 1 Billionth Lumpia!
Ramar Foods is a third generation Filipino-American family business that has produced well-loved Filipino food staples for over thirty years. Ramar Foods was founded by Ramon and Maria Quesada (pictured) in 1969 after they immigrated to the U.S. with their 11 children. Eager to bring the taste of home to America, the Quesada family transformed the company from import and distribution to a full-fledged food manufacturing business, bringing the taste of the Philippines to the U.S. palette. Last week, Ramar Foods celebrated an outstanding milestone of producing its one billionth lumpia in its headquarters in Pittsburg, California. News story from CBS San Francisco.
