Fresh Del Monte Names Pittsburgh as New Hub for Foods Division

Del Monte Foods, recently acquired by Fresh Del Monte, has a long history in the Steel City and will continue operating there

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Del Monte Foods, Inc., a division of Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., one of the world’s leading vertically integrated producers, distributors and marketers of fresh and shelf-stable produce, today reaffirmed its long-standing connection to Pittsburgh by making the city its central hub.

“Pittsburgh has been an important part of our story for more than two decades,” said Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Fresh Del Monte Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As we look ahead, we are proud to deepen our presence here while continuing to invest in the people, partnerships and community that have supported us over the years.”

Del Monte Food’s history in Pittsburgh dates back to 2002, when the company acquired several iconic brands—including StarKist, 9Lives, and Nature’s Goodness—from Heinz.
