Combs Produce, a fresh produce solution provider for US foodservice, retail and wholesale customers, has announced in a press release the launch of its new FOB service out of McAllen, Texas.
The service provides sourcing and shipping services from Mexico to customers across the US, giving Combs’ customers a new option for sourcing Mexican grown products.
“Our customers have often asked us if we would consider procuring and shipping product direct from Mexico and south Texas, and today, I’m happy to report that we are,” said Jeff Partridge, CEO of Combs Produce.
“Our expansion into McAllen allows new and existing customers to look to Combs as a new resource for Mexican grown products, shipped direct from the source.”
The company officially launched its new McAllen FOB service on 1 March.
Combs said it sources produce from an established network of grower partners, providing the products that their customers seek, while guaranteeing fresh, high quality produce backed by a proven food safety programme.
Combs Produce currently has direct relationships with Mexican growers who produce avocados, tomatoes, chillies and bell peppers.
“The McAllen FOB service gives us visibility and a reliable footprint in Mexico,” said Doug Dobbs, COO of Combs Produce.
“We are dedicated to providing value to our customers with our sourcing program, ensuring that they receive products that exemplify the high quality they’ve come to expect.”
Dobbs said the service could potentially evolve into broader product offerings and services.
Ultimately, the service will be driven by the needs of Combs Produce customers and brings added value to the company’s already established products and services.
