Greg Reinauer Highlights Strengths of Tom Lange Family of Companies
LOUIS, MO - October 27–29 is marked on all of our work (and personal for those heading to Orlando, Florida) calendars for the Global Produce & Floral Show. If it’s not yet, it should be as the International Fresh Produce Association’s (IFPA) event is one not to be missed this year. As the industry convenes once more in person, attendees within the trade are in for quite the show. I got in touch with Greg Reinauer, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Tom Lange Family of Companies, to find out more about the strengths and values the distributor is bringing to the Sunshine State.
“We applaud our industry leaders for their thought and transformation of our industry association and creation of the IFPA,” Greg tells me. “At this year’s event in Orlando, Tom Lange Family of Companies team members will be highlighting the company’s reliability, showcasing its 60-plus years in the produce industry and the strengths we provide to customers, both current and new.”
Moving swiftly and deftly, Tom Lange Family of Companies addresses and reacts to the dynamic changes in shopper trends. While we are still finding our way during these unpredictable times, the company pivots to fulfill its customers’ needs throughout the supply chain, from direct grower sourcing to managing logistics.
As Greg puts it, our industry is built on and driven by relationships. With the rise of technology, supplies and buyers have been able to maintain that relationship; at times, the distance made those partnerships even more valuable.
“Over the past several years, we have relied on technology to help grow and nurture those relationships,” Greg shares. “However, this year’s IFPA Global and Floral Show will finally give everyone the opportunity to come together, see old and new friends, have face-to-face conversations and meetings, and, finally give the produce industry members the opportunity to invigorate relationships.”
Those relationships are the tethers keeping our industry connected, much like the supply chain. And with the ever-increasing need for reliable and fresh produce, Tom Lange Family of Companies steps in to provide a boon for both the buy- and supply-side.
