1986: Creation of Amero Foods manufacturing by Theodore Pary and Mireille Picou in Historic Laurel, Maryland. Due to restrictions on imported sugar, Chef Pary started to formulate his first cream mixes: the instant pastry cream, the flan powder and rapidly extended the line to 20 different mixes. The First Production Kitchen of "Dry Mixes" was born on a two level mezzanine, in Maryland. 1989: The professional chefs' growing demand for fresh fruit products directed the manufacture of the second line of PastryStar ingredients: 20 Fruit Sauces, 32 fruit flavors and, within 5 years, a line of baking jams and glazes. The second kitchen called "Wet products" Kitchen became the most active in the company. 1999: In order to offer a complete line of pastry ingredients, a third kitchen equipped for the making of frozen products was added, with blast freezers for the quick freeze of the frozen fruit purees and a beautiful line for the pastry doughs and frozen items. The "Frozen Kitchen" was added. Today: Amero Foods manufactures more than 200 different pastry ingredients in Maryland with the upmost consideration for quality and cleanliness of its "PastryStar" brand. Our customers are nationwide in the U.S. We also export into 5 different countries and our reputation goes a long way with the cruise lines which take aboard our products every Saturday and cater to a worldwide clientele.
