MORE WORDS ABOUT US

Who we are

AUFS is one of the leading wholesale food suppliers for the catering industry in the Northern Territory.

The Lay brothers first retail store was opened in 1989 in Cavenagh Street, Darwin selling porcelain goods and Asian gifts. The wholesale business then grew from this and traded as Asian Importer Exporter & Co. and United Food Service.

In 2009, the two companies merged to form Asian United Food Service at Bishop Street, Woolner and through uniting the two gave birth to the slogan “Together… One better service!”.

We supply most of the restaurants, shops and hotels in the Darwin, Palmerston and Katherine regions as well as servicing some of the remote communities around the top end. We stock a wide range of products at competitive prices, which all just adds to our claim of ‘One better service!’.

Our aim at AUFS is to be the best service when it comes to the food industry in the top end.
