Coupang Facilitates Global Expansion for Los Angeles Small Business

In an exciting development for U.S. small businesses looking to tap into international markets, Los Angeles-based Spread The Love, renowned for its organic nut butters, has announced its expansion into South Korea via Coupang. This partnership enables the company to leverage Coupang's extensive logistics infrastructure and global reach, making it easier to export products to customers in Asia.

Coupang, a leading technology and e-commerce firm recognized on the LexisNexis Top 100 Global Innovators list for two consecutive years, simplifies the exporting process for American businesses. According to Zach Fishbain, co-founder and CEO of Spread The Love, the company ships its products to Coupang’s fulfillment center located in Riverside, California. From there, Coupang handles all logistics, including export paperwork, order processing, and delivery to international customers.

"We ship our products to Coupang’s fulfillment center in Riverside, California, and they handle the rest," said Fishbain. "That enables us to stay focused on what we do best – creating delicious, healthy products for our customers."

With Coupang's support, U.S. sellers can access a vast consumer base in South Korea, where about half of all adults are customers. Spread The Love is among several American brands benefitting from this partnership. Other notable companies include POM Wonderful, Dymatize, ROKIT America, and SAN Nutrition, all of which are also expanding their presence in Asian markets through Coupang's platform.

"We believe providing healthy, clean, natural food is one of the ways we show love to the people in our lives," said Val Fishbain, co-founder and president of Spread The Love. "We’re so excited that now, thanks to Coupang, we can share ‘Spread The Love’ with new customers in South Korea and beyond."

Coupang's innovative AI-driven export engine has facilitated over $5 billion in U.S. sales and exports in 2025 alone. This advanced technology allows small business owners to focus on product development while Coupang manages the complexities of international shipping and sales.

"Coupang is proud to help thousands of American small- and medium-sized businesses like Spread The Love sell their goods to customers around the world," said Bill Anaya, vice president at Coupang. "We enable great American entrepreneurs and founders to 'spread the love' abroad, find new revenue, and focus on growing their local teams."

As a certified woman- and minority-owned business founded in 2013, Spread The Love specializes in clean-label, organic nut butters. Offering a variety of products made from peanuts, almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts, the company is poised for growth in international markets.

"As a small business, we’re always looking for new markets and new customers," said Zach Fishbain. "We always knew that to sustain long-term growth, we needed to figure out how to get our products into markets overseas. Coupang makes it so easy."

The partnership between Spread The Love and Coupang exemplifies the potential for small businesses to expand their reach in global markets through innovative logistics and technology. With Coupang's support, American brands are not only gaining access to new customers but are also positioned to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. As businesses like Spread The Love continue to grow, the landscape of international commerce is set to evolve, driven by technology and the entrepreneurial spirit.
