WOODBRIDGE, ONTARIO, CANADA - The end of June will mark the start of a transition for Burnac Produce Group’s leadership. After much consideration, Domenic Raso announced that he will step down from his role as Co-Chairman following 16 years of dedicated service.

To support ongoing leadership and continuity, Raso has been appointed to Burnac’s Advisory Board, a release explained. He will use his extensive knowledge, experience, and strategic vision to help shape the future direction of the organization and contribute to its ongoing growth and success.
