Meet the Team

We are a family owned business founded in 2013 as a result of difficulties in sourcing imported products from the USA in the UK. Previously, we were in the Food Retail Business for over 30 years.

Today, we import over 2000+ from the United States and beyond. Ranging from Sweets, Drinks, Groceries – we have it all. We now also offer a dedicated section for Health and Wellbeing products. We are a tight-knit team who knows the import and distribution business inside out. 

 

Jatish Malde, Co-founder & Director

“We started this because we couldn’t find quality American goods in the UK — so we brought them in ourselves,” Jatish explains. “Every product on our shelves is something we believe in.”

With over 30 years of experience in food retail, Jatish is the backbone of the business — a calm presence with a razor-sharp sense for what sells.

Divyesh Malde, Director

“We’ve built strong relationships across the States. We don’t just import — we collaborate,” says Divyesh. “Our partners trust us to represent their brands here in the UK.”

Often called “the engine of JDM,” Divyesh is the guy who keeps things moving — from sourcing and logistics to supplier relationships.

 

Miraj Malde, Director

“American culture is constantly evolving — and their snacks evolve with it. We stay ahead of the curve so our customers can, too.”

Miraj brings the creative edge. He’s always scanning the horizon for what’s next — new flavours, trending brands, and fresh categories.

Family-Run, Future-Focused

What makes JDM special isn’t just what they sell — it’s how they work.

“We’re family, but we’ve also built a family feel across the whole team,” says Miraj. “Our warehouse staff, drivers, office team — we all share the same goal: to deliver joy in a box.”

That energy shows in how they treat customers — from independent corner shops to larger retailers. Whether you're placing an order or asking about restock dates, the JDM team treats every interaction with the utmost care.

What’s Next?

With new product lines launching monthly — including a new focus on international wellness and premium imports — the JDM team shows no sign of slowing down.

“We’re just getting started,” says Jatish. “Our job is to find gems from around the world and get them into UK hands fast. We are expanding beyond American imports and thinking more globally".
