My name is Robby Lasman and together with my wife and best partner Tzippi, we own G.I.T USA Inc. Our story is a true story of entrepreneurship; after loosing my job in Israel as a marketing consultant because of the deteriorating economy in Israel, I started to sell health and natural foods to stores in Israel. Soon after starting selling, some Israeli manufacturers that I worked with received invitations to participate in fairs in the US to help the Israeli economy. They offered to me the option to go and represent them in those fairs.
After few visits to the US, I decided to relocate to the US with my wife and our 3 lovely daughters so that we can sell the products we had directly to the retailers. We had a small budget when we started and no support or financial backing from any entity. It was me and my wife Tzippi who did all the hard work of introducing new products into the very competitive US food markets.
Established in 2003, GIT USA is an extension of Galilee International Trade Company that was based in Haifa, Israel. Our company was born out of the idea that small and medium gourmet food and health food manufacturers in Israel needed help to promote their products and find new markets abroad.
Our idea was that by opening GIT USA in the US, we will be helping those companies sell more of their products in this market. Our goal was, and still is, to work with very unique and special gourmet and health food companies that have very little budget, and sell their products in the USA.
Today, we sell our products at some of the best supermarkets and gourmet stores in the East Coast, such as ShopRite, Wegmans, WholeFoods, Zabars, Fairway and many more.
We are proud to say that we did it all ourselves. With a little luck and a lot of faith, hard work, devotion, and persistence we were able to push our products to some of the best retailers in the US.
Our mission is to bring the best selling and most unique, diverse, kosher natural and gourmet foods to the American consumer. We will constantly work very hard to deal with our customers in an honest, effective and friendly way in order to bring into our customer base as many happy customers as possible in order to continuously grow our business.
