History
Our Vision
To provide healthy, sustainable, and delicious school lunches, making mealtime easier for parents and nourishing the minds and bodies of future generations.
Our history
Year 2009
In 2009, Maribel Castaman, the owner, graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Peru. That same year, she reunited with her high school sweetheart, Jose Castaman, and they got married. In February, she relocated to Oregon
Year 2010
In 2010, Maribel gained valuable experience and expertise by working in various restaurants and hotels in Oregon. She also started offering catering services as a side job, while Jose worked in the medical field.
Year 2012
In 2012, the couple launched a food cart, “LA SANGUCHERIA,” in downtown Portland. They won the Judges’ Choice award at Willamette Week’s annual food cart celebration, Eat Mobile.
Year 2014
In 2014, Maribel joined Bon Appetit at the University of Portland, where she built a successful career as a catering chef. Her passion for providing nutritious and sustainable food grew, setting high standards for excellent service, quality, and flavor.
Year 2016
In 2016, Jose and Maribel welcomed their first child, Martina, and Maribel took a break from Bon Appetit to care for her daughter.
Year 2017
In 2017, Maribel and Jose officially established Fusion International Catering as their business. They quickly began offering services for local weddings, city events, galas, and more.
Year 2021
In 2021, they welcomed their second child, Rafela. With two little girls and Martina starting school, Maribel and Jose realized they were struggling to provide healthy and nutritious school lunches for their oldest daughter, like many parents. Juggling a newborn, work, and everyday stress, they felt exhausted and lacked ideas. This sparked the idea to launch Fusion School Lunches, helping thousands of parents offer their children nutritious, delicious, and well-balanced school lunches.
