Founded in 1985 by Carlos Zumarraga—who immigrated from Cuba in pursuit of the American dream—Zuma & Sons began in the garage of his Miami home. Through hard work, determination, and a deep understanding of his customers’ needs, Carlos built the company from the ground up. Guided by the belief that “el que no lucha, no gana” (“those who don’t fight, don’t win”). That spirit of perseverance continues to drive Zuma & Sons today. 

As Zuma & Sons grew, key team members like Carmen Muiña (Office Manager), Luke Payton (Sales Manager), and Rick Rodriguez (Purchasing Manager) played vital roles in driving the company forward optimizing product selection, streamlining the inventory processes, and strengthening vendor relationships—ensuring we consistently deliver value and availability to our customers. 

Today, Zuma & Sons operates from a 100,000+ square foot facility in Miami, with a full fleet of multi-temp trucks delivering daily throughout Florida. With plans underway to open a second facility in the Tampa area, we’re expanding our reach while staying true to our mission: to provide the best service, high-quality products, and strategic support to help our customers succeed.
