American-based Taylor Farms has announced an investment in Hessing, a leading European processor and distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Founded in 1968, Hessing has grown into a recognised leader in Europe’s fresh produce industry. Headquartered in the Netherlands, Hessing serves customers in Germany, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The company operates a modern fruit processing facility in Schwalmtal, Germany, and a state-of-the-art vegetable production site in Greenport Venlo, Netherlands.
This new collaboration will allow Hessing to execute its strong growth strategy with innovative advancements. Despite the partnership, Hessing will continue to operate as a family business, retaining majority ownership.
“We are excited to work with Hessing as we enter into this strategic partnership,” said Bruce Taylor, chairman and CEO of Taylor Farms. “By combining our respective knowledge and expertise, we can accelerate the development of fresh food innovations and capitalise on new opportunities in Europe together. Our mutual commitment to innovation aligns with our goal of creating a positive impact across the entire supply chain.”
“The collaboration with Taylor Farms is an important step for our company,” said Frank Hessing, CEO of Hessing. “In our rapidly changing market, innovation and automation are essential for growth. With the expertise of Taylor Farms, we can confidently build towards a healthy and sustainable future while expanding our reach. Together, we can better support our customers in their demand for healthy, fresh products.”
