DELTA, BC - Houweling's Nurseries Limited has acquired the Loveland, Colorado based company Sun Valley Farms Inc., expanding its sales and service in what the company calls, "key mountain states."
"In addition to improved access and sales service coverage, we establish sourcing capabilities with pre-built track and trace structure and excellent grower relationships, backstopping our own grown product to improve customer fill rates and deliver overall service excellence," said Kevin Doran, Chief Operating Officer at Houweling's.
The Sun Valley Farms business will continue to operate independently under the leadership of President and CEO Dave Fahrenbruch.
"For Sun Valley Farms, being vertically integrated with a large North American producer is the direct to grower model our customers want,” said Fahrenbruch. “With the expansion in Utah, Houweling's has solidified its position in the Western United States, and is a perfect fit for Sun Valley and our customers.”
According to a press release, this acquisition is also well aligned geographically to Houweling's new state of the art greenhouse production facility in Mona, Utah.
