Since 1983, we have invested in people, state-of-the-art technology, and avocado-specific and ripening infrastructure to expertly serve our customers, growers, and partners in over 25 countries. We own and operate four packing facilities in multiple global locations including California, Mexico, and Peru. Our global distribution network includes strategically placed forward distribution centers in North America, China, and Europe, which promote company expansion into new territories and categories.
