OMZE Group, founded by Oscar Zepeda Sr., is a company committed to exporting Latin American products to international markets. Their exportation model accelerates the business development of small and medium companies striving to reach global markets. Oscar Sr. also co-founded a tequila brand, Real Zepeda Tequila, with his son, Oscar Zepeda Jr.
Both companies’ roots began in their hometown, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Oscar Jr. moved to Boston, MA, in 2013 when he was offered a college soccer scholarship. As a result, Oscar Sr. and Oscar Jr. made a home in New England.
Oscar Sr. founded the OMZE Group, gained years of experience with discipline and perseverance, and became a leader in the export and import process. Over time, the father-son team began to discuss how they could bring the uniquely smooth and smoky taste of tequila from Jalisco to the North East. So, they launched their family-owned, small-batch authentic tequila company, Real Zepeda Tequila, in January 2019. Real Zepeda provides job opportunities, youth development programs, and a voice to the people of Mexico and the US Latinx communities.
Through OMZE Group and Real Zepeda Tequila, the Zepeda’s are increasing Latin American representation in the market and uplifting entrepreneurs in the process.
