A family business with roots in 1991.

Zapien e Hijos began in 1991 as a family farming and trading business, founded by José Zapién López. For years we grew onions and peppers ourselves; today we focus on wholesale trade at the Mercado de Abastos and keep our customers supplied with the best quality onions and peppers all year round.

Let's talk about a direct, long-term supply relationship.

We already sell US onions during the Mexican off-season, sourced through importers. We're now ready to buy direct from growers, packers and shippers: all onion varieties, with particular interest in white and red. Tell us what you grow, where, and your pack options, and our team will follow up personally.
