Del Monte Corporation, previously known as Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., one of the world’s leading vertically integrated producers, distributors and marketers of fresh and shelf-stable food products, will return to the IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show in Orlando, Fla., Oct. 15-16, with its first unified showcase of fresh and shelf-stable offerings since its acquisition of select Del Monte Foods assets. Building on the company’s longstanding presence at the show, this year’s exhibit marks a new chapter for the Del Monte brand, reunited under one global owner for the first time in nearly 40 years.
“The Global Produce & Floral Show has long been an important platform for showcasing the strength of our fresh portfolio and deepening our customer relationships,” said Danny Dumas, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing & Product Management, North America, Fresh Division, Del Monte Corporation. “This year, we’re proud to build on that presence alongside our Foods colleagues, bringing customers a broader portfolio and a more coordinated approach to serving their needs. Our latest fresh innovations reflect that same customer focus, combining our expertise in premium fruit and fresh-cut products with convenient new ways for consumers to enjoy Del Monte throughout the day.”
“Our foods business brings longstanding retail relationships and products that generations of families have trusted in their kitchens,” said David Stis, Chief Commercial Officer, Foods Division, Del Monte Corporation. “Reuniting the Del Monte brand allows us to build on that foundation alongside our Fresh colleagues, giving customers a broader portfolio backed by a brand consumers already know and trust. At IFPA, we’re presenting that combined strength together and showing how our teams can help customers create new opportunities for growth by meeting consumers’ needs throughout the day, with convenient options that fit their lives at home and on the go.”
