Fresh Del Monte has reached an agreement to sell key assets of its Mann Packing division to Church Brothers Farms, marking a strategic shift for both businesses. The deal includes the transfer of Mann Packing’s processing facility in California, which will now be operated by Church Brothers.
The transaction allows Fresh Del Monte to concentrate on its fruit and fresh-cut product lines while advancing its long-term efficiency and sustainability goals. For Church Brothers, the acquisition represents a major step in expanding its retail presence and strengthening its position in the vegetable supply chain.
By integrating Mann Packing’s operations, Church Brothers is set to broaden its production capacity and improve service delivery across its customer network. The move underscores a growing trend in the fresh produce industry toward consolidation and collaboration to streamline operations and enhance value across supply chains.
