New Limeco expands staff to accommodate growth
New Limeco LLC, headquartered in Princeton, FL, has added several new key employees to help accommodate the company’s rapid growth.
Dori Blonder previously worked for the company and is now back as director of sales and marketing. Jorge Leon has been appointed packinghouse and food-safety manager, working alongside Don Edgar, the company’s operations manager.
Papayas are one of tropical items handled year round by New Limeco.“Our sales team has also been expanded,” said Eddie Caram, general manager of the company. “We have hired Claudia Figueroa and Michael Gomez. All are seasoned people and we are happy to have them on our team.”
He added that the company is also in the process of developing new growing partners for some of New Limeco’s key products.
The company’s line of tropical and Hispanic products is comprised of Florida avocados, limes, papaya, mamey, carambola, mangos, dry and water coconuts, guava, dragon fruit, kumquats and other tropical fruits.
“In addition to other items, our tropical vegetable line features chayote, yucca, malanga roots, ginger, yams, peppers, sour oranges and aloe leaves,” Caram noted. “We pack Florida avocados 10 months of the year. Papayas are year round, as are our limes and root vegetables. Many of our items are produced in Florida, and papayas are grown in Guatemala.”
He explained that currently the Costa Rica chayote program has been affected by cold temperatures and rain.
Although the company has been handling guavas, it now has its own 10-acre red guava field in Florida, which is food-safety certified from field to packing plant.
“New Limeco has come a very long way and has set many goals,” said Caram. “We continue to focus on providing quality products a ensure that our food safety and traceability initiatives are in place with the commitment to provide all consumers who choose to purchase our fine products have the best quality and safest food.”
