U.S. Supplier
Directory
A message from
Ambassador Carlos Moreno
The U.S. Embassy in Belize and the U.S. Commercial Service are dedicated to promoting U.S. products, services and investments in Belize. With this in mind, we are proud to present this U.S. Supplier Directory highlighting U.S. companies and organizations interested in advancing commercial partnerships in Belize. The four featured U.S. companies represent the cosmetics and skin care, food and beverage, general merchandising, real estate and aviation sectors. These companies are excited to pursue expanded market opportunities and are seeking distributors, importers and trade with Belizean entrepreneurs and businesses. If you are interested in expanding your company’s product line, distributing American products, or in collaborating commercially with U.S. companies, please contact the Embassy’s Commercial Section or the companies featured here. I hope that the Directory serves as a springboard to long lasting, fruitful and mutually beneficial commercial ventures between Belizean and U.S. based businesses.
Sincerely Carlos Moreno Ambassador
