ATLANTA, GA - Two powerful players from the root vegetable arena are joining forces to forge an even stronger operation. EarthFresh Farms recently announced its purchase of Mountain King Potatoes, made effective yesterday, September 25.
“We believe that there are great synergies between our two companies that include exclusive varietal potatoes, innovative packaging and products, expanded organic offerings, customer analytics, and an expanded supply of fresh potatoes,” says Tom Hughes, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our combined team will consist of over 400 employees dedicated to servicing our customers.”
Through this transaction, EarthFresh has expanded its network to include nine state-of-the-art packing facilities in Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island. With these expanded packing locations, the supplier will be able to service the North American market within 24 hours of its packing facilities.
EarthFresh is a North American producer specializing in potatoes, carrots, and onions. Following the deal, the company will maintain the proven Mountain King brands that include premium products like Steakhouse Russets, Butter Golds, Butter Reds, and Butter Russets, a release stated.
