WATSONVILLE, CA - Primed for growth and striving for constant evolution, GEM-Pack Berries has been making strides across the fresh produce industry in invaluable ways. As we approach the 2024 International Fresh Produce Association’s Foodservice Conference, Michelle Deleissegues, Senior Vice President of Marketing, GEM-Pack, joined me to discuss what is on the horizon for the company and what advantages are impacting its customers today.
“At GEM-Pack Berries, we cultivate and harvest a beautiful lineup of conventional and organic strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, including proprietary varieties,” Michelle shared with me. “Our intention is to deliver nutritious, delicious, and beautiful berries that are consumers’ dietary staple year-round, paired with the personal and top-notch service our customers have come to expect from our team of berry experts.”
As a family-owned and farmed, vertically integrated, full-service berry operation, the GEM-Pack team is uniquely positioned to truly cater to its customers’ needs.
“GEM-Pack has seen incredible growth in the past two years with our mergers with Red Blossom and Well-Pict. Our product line-up is deeper and broader than ever, thanks to synergies we have created in the fields and office. We are primed to grow into new or expanding categories like foodservice,” Michelle detailed.
With the amazing growth recently, the company has also added more organics, more proprietary varietal offerings, and combined teams to ensure uninterrupted service to support the volume.
“We are still the hands-on, hustling team that made our customer service favored by customers throughout the industry. Our capabilities and reach have expanded, but our intentions are consistent with our roots and family-farmed, can-do attitude,” Michelle wrapped up.
While this story has reached its conclusion, the GEM-Pack Berries’ vision and execution have so much more yet to tell. Visit booth #1102 to learn more about the team and its program.
