About
Hero
Thirty years in the category. Now standing alone.
Our Story
What RTM stands for
RTM Imports is a San Antonio-based importer of Asian beverage alcohol with more than 30 years of operational history in the category. Originally established in the early 1990s alongside one of the largest wholesale networks in the country, RTM was formally structured as an independent LLC and has been led by Benjamin Roberts since 2016.
We operate exclusively in the B2B wholesale channel — working with the largest national beverage wholesalers and their chain teams across both on-premise and off-premise. We do not sell to consumers. We do not chase broad portfolios. We exist to serve our wholesale partners.
Our specialization spans South Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, and Taiwan — covering the most significant growth segments in the U.S. market: soju, sake, shochu, Korean beer, Japanese whisky, and Asian RTDs. We were building relationships in these markets long before the mainstream conversation arrived.
We stick to what we know we do well. No filler, no noise — just results.

Our Approach
Why RTM
While our competitors build massive portfolios and chase scale, we build focused partnerships and chase results.
Fearless Creativity
We pursue categories and producers that others overlook. Asian beverage alcohol was a niche before it was a trend — we were already there.
Aggressive Adaptability
The U.S. wholesale landscape is consolidating rapidly. Our independence and lean operating model mean we move faster than any generalist importer.
Relationship-First Execution
Long-term partnerships — with Asian producers and national wholesalers alike — are the foundation of everything we do. Trust is built over decades, not campaigns.

Services

Three disciplines. One focus.
RTM Imports is a B2B-only specialist. We do not sell to consumers. Our three service areas reflect 30+ years of operating experience in the U.S. wholesale channel — each one a discipline we have built deliberately, and each one available to the right partner.
Service 1
Asian Beverages — Leading the fastest-growing category in America
Asian beverage is one of the few categories showing significant, sustained growth — specifically within the Gen Z demographic. RTM has become a national leader in this trend with brands that span sake, soju, shochu, Japanese whisky, and wine-based RTD.
Service 2
Custom Labels — Your brand. Our expertise. Their shelf.
As competition intensifies, the brands that win own the relationship with the consumer. Our private label program leverages curated producer relationships across Europe and Asia to build proprietary brands from concept to shelf — fully compliant, fully differentiated.
Service 3
Compliance & Licensing — The infrastructure that makes national distribution possible
The U.S. three-tier system is complex. Our active license network across 50+ states, wholesaler relationships, and TTB expertise give your brand a compliant path to market — without spending years building the infrastructure yourself.
