The Australian fresh produce industry has a new player with the launch of Nutrano Produce Group following the acquisition of the Oakville Produce Group’s banana division.
Key category lines carried by the group include bananas, tomatoes, berries, avocados and mangoes.
CEO Chaise Pensini says the Nutrano Produce Group has been built on solid business foundations, including a grower-integrated model and wholesale market operations in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
“We are excited to have commenced trading under our new ownership structure and will continue to service our valued customers with expert category management coupled with an extensive supply chain infrastructure including growing, ripening, and logistics,” he said.
The group’s name has Italian heritage and translates directly to ‘nutrition’.
“We are devoted to achieving excellence in the supply chain to ensure high-quality, fresh product every time,” the group’s Executive Chairman, Tony Mahoney, said.
