Why AIS
We've built lasting relationships with producers across Indonesia, sourcing exceptional goods that remain largely undiscovered by the global market.
We know the name behind every shipment. No middlemen, no ambiguity. Complete documentation from origin to your door, quality checked at both ends. If it doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't ship.
You are never a number. Every trade is personal, with responsive support and a genuine commitment to long-term partnership. Our mission is long-term value, not just volume.
Our People
We are a passionate team of globally minded professionals united by a shared mission: to bridge Indonesian producers with the North American market. Our team spans continents, bringing together diverse talents and perspectives rooted in trust, transparency, and a genuine love for what we do.
Field Notes
Our last container has sold through. In October the next one was stuffed in Indonesia, sealed and lifted onto a truck. It carries nine lots from five producers across Sumatra, Flores and Java, and it lands in Vancouver in November.
