Welcome to 814 Americas Inc. formerly known as S. Abuin Packing, Inc.

For more than 35 years, we at 814 Americas, Inc. T/A S. Abuin Packing have been producing the highest quality chorizo using the finest ingredients. We proudly produce the reconcilable name brand of “El Miño” chorizo, our “Riojano” Chorizo brand and also the acclaimed Dominican and Colombian Style Salami “Hiqüeral” brand.

Severino Abuin, the founder of “El Miño” Chorizo born in Lugo, Spain, arrived at Havana, Cuba in 1920. His career started as a clerk in an Importer and Wholesaler company.

Two years later, he was promoted to salesman and worked in this capacity until 1925.

In that same year, fondly remembering his childhood spent at the Rio El Miño in Northwestern Spain, Mr. Abuin started to manufacture chorizo under the brand name “El Miño” in a small location in Cuba. By 1930, he had expanded the facilities and rented a second location.

Success continued for Mr. Abuin as a plant was built in Cuba in 1947 and expanded again in 1957.

Severino Abuin began exporting chorizo to the United States in 1959. Unfortunately, in 1960 Fidel Castro confiscated Severino Abuin & Co, and all its manufacturing facilities.

He returned to Spain, but in 1969, came to the United States, and became associated with a sausage plant in NJ. Here, in 1972, he builds his own establishment in Elizabeth town in what became his greatest achievement at the age of 65.

Today, we at 814 Americas Inc. continue producing the same “El Miño” brand with the same pride, commitment and quality in which Mr. Severino Abuin dedicated all his life in doing.
