SALINAS, CA -- Salinas native David Gattis, who launched Simplified Procurement here in July 2004 in conjunction with The Chuck Olsen Co. of Visalia, CA, moved on and started a Salinas division of Custom Produce Sales on Sept. 1.
Custom Produce Sales, based in Parlier, CA, functions similarly to Simplified Procurement in offering procurement and consolidation services to the foodservice sector, but offers a wider variety of commodities, Mr. Gattis said. Custom Produce Sales offers overall efficiencies in consolidation, quality assurance, procurement and logistics to the foodservice sector.
The company offers seasonal programs in California in Salinas, Parlier and Los Angeles, and in Arizona in Yuma and Nogales, Mr. Gattis said.
The Salinas division of Custom Produce Sales offers all commodities from the Salinas Valley as well as the products from the Central Valley and Washington state apples, potatoes, onions, avocados, dry vegetables and all specialty items at its "one-stop" facilities, according to Mr. Gattis.
Mr. Gattis' sales staff with Simplified Procurement -- salesman Mike Chasen and sales assistant Carrie Stevens -- has joined him at the Salinas division of Custom Produce Sales. In addition, Custom Produce Sales has added Tony Bozzo Jr. to its sales staff. Mr. Bozzo most recently worked in sales for Salinas-based Church Bros. LLC.
The Salinas division of Custom Produce Sales will manage the Salinas and Yuma facilities. It will load at Uni-Kool in Salinas and at Red River Cooling in Yuma.
Simplified Procurement -- still a division of The Chuck Olsen Co. -- continues to load at Uni-Kool in Salinas.
