S. Katzman’s team includes both new and veteran staff members. Katzman said the company continually grows its team, and everyone plays an important role in the company’s operations.

Katzman is a fourth-generation family member to help oversee the company’s operation. S.

Today it is recognized as one of the leading wholesaler-distributors of quality produce at the Hunts Point Terminal Market. Its line includes every category and top brand names. The company sources product from across the country and around the world, and is always looking for the next new item or variety.
In recent years, S. Katzman Produce acquired numerous new units on the Hunts Point Market, and today it has a presence on rows A, B and D. The additions and renovations have made it possible for the company’s entire team to work more closely together, which Katzman said has enabled it to increase its efficiencies.
“We recently had the opportunity to grow our footprint in the market with the purchase of the eight units next to our current warehouses on Row B,” she continued. “We are excited about the additional space, and we know that it is one more piece of the puzzle that will help S. Katzman continue to grow.”
The company was founded on its dedication to locally grown produce, and it continues to support local fresh fruits and vegetables whenever they are available.
“We are always looking to improve upon everything we do and are always working on new projects to grow our business,” said Katzman.
