We manage North American presence for wines & spirits producers through trade, market & brand development.
Relationships. Strategy. Integrity.
Rooted in relationships, family-owned and operated, Loon Trading Co. brings strategic insight and integrity to your presence in North America. We provide over a decade of confirmed, sustained results built upon a belief that knowing and appreciating who you support, and who your partners are, is what matters. This provides durability, reliability, and positive returns to weather the headwinds of the hardest years.
Why trading company? We hearken back to those merchants of the past who took the time to understand their suppliers, customers, and products. An era where you were more than just figures on just another screen. A time when traders were explorers and visionaries, traveling far and wide to bring the world to your town or city-simplifying logistics.
Why loon? Originating in the Midwest as well, it is a symbol of nature and a genuine appreciation of provenance. A loon selects its natural environment, its “terroir”, based on quality. The partners we accompany are of a quality we are proud to support, and would raise a glass to on land, shore, or water. Santé!
