    Our History

      The origins of Seawind date back more than 50 years to the early trading activities of one of our founders
      fathers Wink Cade.  Wink canvassed the canneries, Ethnic Mercado’s, and on the docks at the Los
      Angeles harbor searching for trading opportunities.  Starting with seafood and canned goods the
      opportunities expanded to industrial ingredients initiated from overseas sources.  The key to the success
      of the trading business came with the ability to locate what the customer needed.  Following in the
      footsteps of the predecessor the Company Principals traveled the world to find the best resources for a
      wide variety of food ingredient needs.

      In 1963 the business was incorporated into a worldwide known food supply company under the name of
      Cade Grayson Company.  For decades the company continued to distribute a vast assortment of canned,
      frozen, fresh and dehydrated fruits, meats, sea-foods, vegetables and spices.

      From 1981 through the early 90’s the company expanded operations by adding Geographical Sales Offices
      and Independent Brokerage firms to the marketing plan.  The product focus intensified in the specific field
      of dehydrated vegetables.  The Cade-Grayson Company prospered and grew into one of the largest U.S.
      Importer and Distributor of dehydrated vegetable ingredients.

      In 1987 Seawind Trading International was established as a separate new company to return to the roots of
      the original business.  The goal was to focus on the “Trading” aspects of the original company.  Seawind
      grew from the core products of spices, dried tropical fruits and specialty food items.  From that base, the
      business expanded to Industrial Food Ingredients and Production management. 

      Utilizing the years of experience and exposure to processing facilities throughout the world, the company
      became a mentor to companies both domestic and abroad.  Seawind has overseen and managed the
      creation and development of production operations in Mexico, Chile, and China. 

      Seawind International has grown through the years to become a major supplier to many multi-national
      companies.  Seawind has created and participated in joint venture operations in Asia, South America, and
      domestically providing for worldwide resources and distribution of goods worldwide.

      Seawind has assisted in the development and financing of production factories located in China.  Seawind
      also has exclusive processing contracts for specific goods in Thailand, Sri Lanka and China.

      Today Seawind continues to be an industry leader in worldwide supplies of premium industrial food
      ingredients.  Currently Dehydrated Vegetables and Specialized Dried tropical fruits lead the product list of
      goods. 

      The value of the company continues to prosper and grow well beyond the production and supply of the
      ingredients.  Recognized within the food trade as a trusting and creative resource for ingredients, Seawind
      is utilized consistently as a resource arm of many companies.

      Seawind has founded and developed various ingredients to the U.S. market that were not previously grown
      or harvested in various countries.  Current supplies of dehydrated ingredients from China like Beet Powder
      and Jalapeno products can be attributed and traced to Seawind development.

      The best definition of Seawind International within the company’s food product division would be Producer
      and worldwide resource distributor.

      Seawind continues to work on and welcome new projects to develop both products and International
      Operations.
