Johan Linden, president of Dole Europe, said: “This will add to a decade of growth in fresh cut out of our Swedish plant based on product quality and innovation. With this acquisition, Dole is further investing in this growing category. The acquisition of Fafi Fresh Cuts will be the start of new growth for Dole fresh cut products in Finland.”
Linden added: “Dole has already been servicing the Finnish market with its high quality fresh cuts from its Swedish plant for a number of years. With the new production set up, the transfer of production and category expertise, Dole customers in Finland will benefit from shorter lead time, increased flexibility as well as a broader product assortment of short shelf life products.”
The new operation will report to Stefan Grahn, general manager of Saba Fresh Cuts in Helsinborg.
