IMMOKALEE, FL - Procacci Brothers President Mike Maxwell is the newest addition to the Eastern Produce Council’s Executive Board, succeeding Sal Zacchia who passed away this Spring.
“I’ve been involved with the Eastern Produce Council for many years, including serving as a Director over the last year,” Mike tells me when I ask him about his new position. “The EPC is a tremendous resource for networking, business development, and produce education. In my opinion, there is no organization that has been more influential in furthering the interests of our industry. I’m honored and excited to take on this new challenge as a member of the EPC Executive Board.”
With over 450 current members, the Eastern Produce Council aims to advance the sales and awareness of fresh fruits and vegetables and organizes a vast network of members that includes retailers, wholesale distributors, growers, venders/brokers, logistics and transportation professionals, as well as commodity groups, food service, and other associations.
Mike served as a Director for the Produce Marketing Association before becoming Procacci Brothers' President, where he is committed to building strong and unique programs, including private labeling, direct-store-delivery, and providing access to a diverse range of products and pack sizes.
