Ben B. Schwartz & Sons has seen a lot of success in recent years, and that has led to it adding to its team with the hiring of Ryan Elfline as the company’s controller and AJ Grecco as director of transportation.

With the start of a new year come resolutions to eat healthier, which helps R.A.M. Produce Distributors LLC get off to a strong start in 2021.

“At this time of year, everything is moving well,” said Jim Bommarito of the Detroit-based company. “Everybody is starting their diets right now, and all the vegetables are moving — lettuces, celery and all vegetables move well at this time of year.”

Riggio Distribution Co., an anchor tenant at the Detroit Produce Terminal, has long been one of the largest produce wholesalers servicing the Midwest area.

“Our customers include independent retail, chain retail, independent wholesale foodservice, broad line distributors and food manufacturers,” said Dominic Riggio, president of the company. “We distribute in the greater Midwest, Southern Ontario, as well as parts of the South and East Coast.”

When it comes to Detroit’s produce scene, few names have earned the success and respect that Rocky Produce does, and a lot of hard work has gone into building the exceptional reputation the company enjoys.

For 115 years, Ben B. Schwartz & Sons Inc. has been a leading wholesale distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables, serving local and national chain stores, as well as foodservice providers, and the company continues to make winning decisions year after year.
