A M King Completes Construction of South Texas Cold Storage Facility
A M King has completed construction of a south Texas distribution center for Mexico-based GAB Operations, LLC. The new 45,590-square-foot facility will provide increased cold storage capacity for fresh produce and serve as a hub for the company’s U.S. and Canadian customers.
Founded more than four decades ago in Guanajuato, Mexico, GAB specializes in the production, development, marketing and distribution of fresh and frozen vegetables and fruits. Items include broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and other leafy greens, varieties of lettuce, celery, sweet corn, snow peas, pumpkin, sweet mini peppers, berries and more. The company, which operates under the brand names Mr. Lucky and Covemex, is one of the largest garlic and organic tomato producers in Mexico and prepares fresh-cut produce for food service clients and provides pre-packed salads and private-label products for many U.S.-based produce businesses.
