The company
is led by president Brian Beggs.
Sales and marketing is directed by
vice-president Fried De Schouwer.
“The primary benefits of the
merger are the increased efficiencies
and value that come with a
larger supply base and distribution
network,” notes Beggs. “With one
call, Pan American Foods customers
can access Canadian-grown and
Mexican-grown greenhouse products,
sold through eight warehouse/
distribution facilities across
the U.S. and Canada, 12 months of
the year. All product offerings will
be sold under the established B.C.
Hot House brand.”
