Nearly 50 Years.
One Family Commitment.
From humble beginnings in Hoboken, New Jersey, to serving customers nationwide, our commitment to quality and personal service has never changed.
A Family Business Built on Dedication
International Coconut Corporation was founded in 1977 by Arthur, an experienced professional in the coconut industry who dreamed of building a business of his own.
Starting in Hoboken, New Jersey, with just a handful of employees and local customers, Arthur established a company built on hard work, integrity, and lasting relationships.
In 1988, his son Richard joined the family business after earning his MBA from George Washington University. The company had recently relocated to Elizabeth, New Jersey, where it continues to operate today.
Arthur: A Lifetime of Dedication
A proud United States Army veteran, Arthur was drafted during the Korean War. Following his military service, he built a career in the coconut industry before founding International Coconut Corporation in 1977.
Today, at the remarkable age of 96, Arthur continues to come to work every weekday, actively participating in the company he established nearly five decades ago.
Alongside his son Richard, Arthur continues to exemplify the dedication, entrepreneurial spirit, and personal attention that define International Coconut Corporation.
Every Order Matters.
