ATLANTA, GA - With the introduction of a new facility, better packaging, and year-round eggplants, it’s looking to be a big year for Malena Produce in 2016.

CEO Gonzalo Avila took the time to tell us more about what’s to come from the company.

“We are building a new facility in the state of Nayarit,” he shared with us, adding that the company also has recently built a new facility located in Hermosillo. There the company is packing its Italian and Yellow squash in modified atmosphere bags that help lengthen the shelf-life of the product.

And that’s not all that is being added to Malena’s repertoire.

“We’re very happy to announce that the coming 2016 will be the first year where we have eggplant year around,” Gonzalo tells us, giving plenty of good reason for excitement about the upcoming new year.

We will continue to follow this company as it and others in the produce industry continue to grow, so stay tuned.
