Californian supplier enjoys boom

California firm Market 52 has recorded consistent growth of 100 per cent in its retail and wholesale customer base since being founded in 2005.

The supplier of berries, table grapes, asparagus and other fresh produce sourced from around the world has continued to enjoy triple-digit growth, despite the economic downturn.

The company has attributed its success to its strategic relationships with carefully selected local and global growers and buyers, and its commitment to cutting edge communications technology and centrally integrated distribution processes to manage and control every aspect of the produce supply chain.

Jerald Downs, president of Market 52, said: “Real-time knowledge and information management, and dynamic communication with our growers and buyers is integral to our ability to respond to their changing needs and to changing market conditions.

“Our team’s responsiveness is a core attribute that allows Market 52 to consistently deliver a reasonably priced uninterrupted supply of the freshest, best eating products to any location at any time.”

The Market 52 team boasts a unique breadth and depth of experience ranging from farming and production, packing and shipping, pack style development and retail category management and marketing.

The company has achieved optimal operational efficiency and flexibility while gradually integrating its operations in both North and South America.
