CarbAmericas, CarGoldMex debut new facility in Mexico
CarGoldMex is starting to pack broccoli at the new facility, and will process various other fruits and vegetables, including asparagus, bell peppers and strawberries at different times throughout the year.
CarbAmericas, a Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.-based importer of fresh fruits and vegetables, inaugurated a facility through a partnership with CarGoldMex, a grower shipper and packer of Mexican fruits and vegetables located in Irapuato, Mexico.
In 2013, CarbAmericas owners Jeff Friedman and Danny Pollak partnered with Pablo and Elias Chimely Montibeller to develop and build CarGoldMex S.A. de C.V. Since 2014, the company has been a leader in the production, processing and packaging of vegetables in Central Mexico. It is a fully vertically integrated operation, ensuring quality and traceability of its products around the world and spans four continents (North America, Asia, Europe and Oceania). CarbAmericas will send products to the United States via Nogales and McAllen from this facility.
