KINGSVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA - Cause for celebration is in order for Mastronardi Produce®, as the greenhouse grower celebrates its recognition for being named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for the 13th year in a row. The fourth-generation, family-owned business embraces an employee-driven culture that stands testimony to the innovations it brings to market.
“We dedicate this achievement to our employees who truly drive our success as a company,” remarked Paul Mastronardi, President and Chief Executive Officer, of the honor. “It is the passion of our people nationwide that secures our place as a global leader in greenhouse vegetable growing. We are honored to receive this award, and I’m excited to see what’s next for Flavor Nation.”

According to a press release, the team—made up of over 700 employees in Canada alone—takes great pride in growing and marketing premium products such as the Bombs™ tomato line, which delivers on both flavor and consistent quality.
Although the industry is still feeling the effects of supply chain challenges brought on by COVID-19, Mastronardi Produce continues to meet demand to supply the produce for which it’s known. The greenhouse grower noted that, as a 13-year Best Managed winner, it strives to demonstrate its leadership in operational excellence and hopes to retain its prestigious Platinum Club status among Canada’s business elite.
