European fresh produce giant Univeg has announced the opening of a sourcing and sales office in Greece.
The subsidiary will be run by Petros Milios, who will provide Univeg with a closer link to sources of supply in Greece, as well as opening a new, more direct route into the south-east European market.
'Petros has extensive experience in the fresh produce business, having worked at Chiquita, Fresh Del Monte and his own family business,' Univeg said in a statement. 'Petros will support the Univeg units worldwide to source Greek produce and to sell the group’s products into Greece.'
Francis Kint, chief executive of Univeg Group's fresh produce business, commented: 'We are excited to have Petros on board in a country that offers good sourcing and sales prospects.'
He added: 'Univeg Group is delighted to have a representative in Greece in order to source and sell fresh produce.'
