Who We Are

Our Proud Legacy

From Humble Beginnings to Global Excellence

Since our inception in 2007 as an importer, AZ Gems has been a beacon of excellence within the seafood industry, driven by the determination of visionary entrepreneurs from a humble shrimp farming family, with our headquarters in Los Angeles, CA. We have grown to become one of the country’s largest seafood importers, proudly serving American seafood lovers.

For over 19 years, AZ Gems has steadfastly imported top-quality aqua products, serving clients nationwide. Rooted in hard work, dedication, and a passion for excellence, our journey reflects our commitment to delivering superior seafood. AZ Gems compounded to become among the best by following the principles of good governance, operational excellence, and financial stability.

Guided by today’s generation, our management team embodies the drive propelling us forward. With a shared vision for growth and success, we’re a formidable presence in the industry. We aim to establish a sustainable business model, leaving a lasting impact on the global seafood landscape.

AZ Gems is led by our CEO, Kunam Chowdary (Chow), a visionary in the seafood industry. Over the past 14 years, he has established independent seafood import companies abroad, propelling us into a global powerhouse and a seafood conglomerate.

As a pivotal entity within a family-owned conglomerate, AZ Gems presence is felt worldwide. Our distinguished affiliates, including Zalo Fresh in the US, Select Source in Canada, Bonmea Ltd in the UK, Wanaka Seafood in France, and Sandhya Aqua in India, exemplify our extensive reach and unwavering dedication to excellence.
