The deal appoints Capespan North America as Surabian`s exclusive sales and marketing agent for its extensive line of fresh, California citrus products.
The deal also means that Capespan North America`s and Alliance International`s customers will have an uninterrupted supply of products under Capespan`s globally recognized OUTSPAN™ brand for their traditional citrus products like oranges, lemons and grapefruit.
Easy-peeling clementines and mandarins will be marketed under Capespan North America’s CLEM GEM™ brand. Capespan North America will also distribute products under Surabian`s traditional brands ESCHOL™ and BUY & BUY™.
Surabian is a family-owned fruit packing enterprise that has been packing quality products in Tulare County since 1934. In 2001 Surabian shifted its focus from stone fruit to citrus and in the ensuing fifteen years it has grown to become a grower-focused, premium packer of navel and Valencia oranges, lemons, grapefruit, soft citrus and specialty items like Cara Cara and blood oranges. This deal will provide Surabian and its grower/partners with direct access to Capespan`s network of retail and wholesale customers across the USA and Canada as well as access to the Capespan Group`s distribution companies throughout Europe, the UK, Asia and the Middle East.
