Our Story
Family Legacy.
Michigan Roots.
Marotta IEWD was founded by Rosario Marotta to honor his father's legacy — the Sumerian Bread Company, started in Michigan in 1992. What began as a family tradition has grown into a trusted import and distribution operation serving all of Michigan and beyond.
Today, we work directly with Sicilian artisans who have been perfecting their craft for generations. From Pastificio Lenato's bronze-drawn pasta in Caltagirone to Agrestis' hand-selected olives — every product reflects our commitment to quality and authenticity.
With 2 warehouses, 8 delivery trucks, and over 70 wholesale clients, we're built to serve Michigan's diverse market with products you won't find anywhere else.
