Founder & Principal

Gilbert Wolfe

Gilbert spent twenty-five years inside the commercial foodservice channel before founding Lobo Reps International. He has stood on the supply side of every kind of project — resort openings, restaurant rollouts, hospital commissaries, and institutional kitchens — and he saw the same gap repeat in every Caribbean and Latin American market: operators were paying U.S. dealer markups, waiting on freight brokers, and getting passed around when something needed parts or service.

LRI was built to close that gap. Factory-direct relationships with manufacturers. Consolidated 40-foot container shipping. Direct technical and parts support after the sale. One rep firm, the full equipment stack, accountable end-to-end.

“We don’t sell boxes. We help operators specify the right equipment, get it landed, and keep it running.”

What Makes LRI Different

Three things you won’t get from a domestic dealer.

Factory-Direct Pricing

Cut out the U.S. dealer markup.

Most LATAM and Caribbean buyers source through U.S. distributors who add 25–40% on top of factory pricing. LRI is the rep firm. You buy at the rep level.

Consolidated Freight

One container, multiple brands.

You don’t need to fill a 40-foot container with a single manufacturer’s product. We consolidate refrigeration, ice, cooking, prep, and warewash from across our line card into one shipment.

Post-Sale Support

A real human, on WhatsApp.

When equipment goes down, you message Gilbert directly. We source parts, recommend replacements, and coordinate with the factory. No ticket queues.
