About Us
John H Elton, Inc., founded in 1949 in New York, has evolved into a full service spice and food ingredient brokerage house. Our emphasis on communication and high end information systems have enabled us to offer complete, concise and critical market information to help our customers make timely decisions and enhance their ability to generate profits.
Our trading desk has over 80 years of combined experience in the spice and speciality food industries. The JHE support staff efficiently handles financial, shipping, trucking, claims and regulatory issues which not only assist our customers immensely but allows our trading desk to concentrate on what they do best.
The Spice and Food Ingredient communities find our daily comprehensive JHE Pepper Report, weekly JHE *PRW * (Pepper Review Week) and our bi-weekly JHE Market Report insightful, informative, sagacious and spicy.
Four of our traders are based in New York City and one in Cochin, India. We are truly a company that never rests. You will always find a JHE person working for you at all times of the day, any day of the week. Our trading staff speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Indian and Indonesian/Malay dialects, which enables us to easily and effectively communicate with our global clientele. Some in our team are childhood friends of our suppliers. These strong personal ties have augmented even stronger business relationships. Business is not "as usual" but personal at JHE. The fact that we've been in business for over a half century is testimony to JHE's commitment to integrity and honesty - the cornerstone of any successful and meaningful relationship.
JHE is proud to be a member of the American Spice Trade Association (ASTA), the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), and the Association of Food Industries (AFI).
We invite you to be a part of our global network and allow us to leverage our combined experience to meet your business needs.
