MGM Food and Commodities

What MGM Food and Commodities does

MGM Food and Commodities Corporation is a Philippine-incorporated specialty food distributor founded in 1983, headquartered in Batangas. The company supplies bulk ingredients and raw materials (proteins, starches, collagen, and cellulose casings) to the domestic meat processing, fish/marine, dairy, and bakery sectors, and sells premium food and beverage products to hotels, restaurants, and food institutions. In 2013 it spun off its food ingredients manufacturing division into MGM Blendwell Corporation, and in 2019 it divested its Flexible Packaging Business to Sealed Air Corporation, exiting packaging manufacturing.

Following these transactions, MGM reorganized around four product categories: premium imported wines (Clos Du Val from California, Taltarni from Australia, Bodegas Habla and Carrosantos from Spain); craft beer ingredients (hops from Charles Faram, Fermentis yeast, Australian Maltster malt, Yakima and NZ Hops) and equipment (KegLand kegerators, fermentation and kegging systems); premium cold cuts (Marcial Castro Iberico products from Guijuelo, Spain, plus smoked Atlantic Salmon); and ongoing bulk-ingredient supply. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales to meat processors, HORECA buyers, and craft breweries, layered with a WooCommerce-based direct-to-consumer e-commerce site (mgmfoods.com.ph). The company is privately held, employs 11-50 people, and operates exclusively within the Philippines.
