US (FL): Del Monte Fresh enters vending channel
Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A., Inc. has entered into an agreement with Vistar, Centennial, Colo., a division of Performance Food Group, to distribute a new fresh fruit and vegetable line to be sold through vending machines.
“Vistar’s industry expertise, experience and nationwide presence will help us accomplish our goal of providing our healthier snack alternatives in vending machines throughout the country,” said Dennis Christou, vice-president of marketing for Del Monte Fresh Produce. “Together we are committed to fighting the American obesity epidemic and we are convinced providing fresh fruits and vegetables in vending machines is a great start.”
