Names matter. They express intent before a single product reaches the table.

SPLEATS is born from two words: Split and Eats.

“Eats” is the human element. It speaks to food not as a commodity, but as something lived and shared. Food carries memory, identity, craft, and culture. It connects people across borders and generations.

“Split” represents discernment, the discipline of separating what is merely available from what is truly valuable. In a market driven by scale and shortcuts, SPLEATS stands for selection. We distinguish integrity from compromise, substance from noise, standards from convenience.

But “Split” also reflects structure.

Many exceptional producers dream of building a presence in the United States. They imagine establishing a branch, entering distribution, becoming relevant in one of the most demanding food markets in the world. Yet the cost of infrastructure, compliance, logistics, and market development can overwhelm even the most talented company. Too often, quality alone is not enough to survive.

SPLEATS was created to change that dynamic.

Instead of each producer carrying the full burden alone, we split the structural cost across one disciplined platform. Regulatory alignment, operational infrastructure, and commercial strategy are shared within a framework built on common standards. In this way, SPLEATS becomes their presence in the United States, not a fully owned subsidiary, but a strategic extension aligned by shared interest and shared principles.

Producers retain their identity and independence. SPLEATS provides the structure that allows them to compete without compromising what makes them exceptional.

The name reflects both philosophy and function.

SPLEATS separates what belongs on the table from what merely fills it.
It shortens the distance between origin and market.
It splits cost, complexity, and risk, so that quality has a real chance to thrive.

SPLEATS is not just a name. It is discernment in action. It is structure in service of quality. It is a platform where integrity has the strength to compete.
