Purchased by the Stollers in 1993, Stoller Imports served the parent company well with direct imports from countries all over the world. Now doing business in over 40 states, our brands are being sold by the biggest and best retailers and on-premise establishments across the USA. The Marsalle Company has since changed its name to Stoller Imports, to reflect the traditions of excellence within the family-owned company. It is our goal to provide unique and profitable brands to our distributor partners and Control State jurisdictions, with the highest ethical standards in the industry.
Their knowledge of the “street” aspect of the liquor industry has brought a unique perspective to Stoller’s management style. They still interact daily with customers, always monitoring the pulse of the industry. This enables quick responses to an ever-changing climate. They work closely with their suppliers and distributors to create dynamic long term directions.
Today there are only a few urban importers with active executive managers that have actually built and continue to build their own story.
