Mastronardi acquires Intergrow’s NY greenhouse facilities

Mastronardi Produce, a fourth-generation family-owned business that has pioneered commercial greenhouse growing in North America and ranks #1 on Greenhouse Grower’s ranking of the largest greenhouse vegetable growers in the U.S. in 2023, has announced an expansion of its U.S. growing network through a joint venture formed with Intergrow Greenhouses Inc. The joint venture includes the acquisition of Intergrow’s commercial greenhouse facilities and trucking business in the state of New York. The new company, Sungrow Farms LLC, adds 105 acres of high-tech greenhouse production capacity to Mastronardi’s ever-growing domestic network and ensures continuity of operations at local greenhouses, keeping more than 280 people employed in the workforce.

“This strategic investment allows Mastronardi Produce to offer even more flavorful, locally grown fruits and vegetables,” says Paul Mastronardi, President & CEO of Mastronardi Produce Ltd. “We look forward to continuing to serve our customers and delivering on our mission to inspire healthy living through WOW flavor experiences.”

Sungrow Farms’ high-tech greenhouse facilities have further capacity for expansion and are located in New York within a 24-hour drive of 60% of the U.S. population.

“We are thrilled to enter into a joint venture with Mastronardi Produce, the North American industry leader in greenhouse grown produce,” says Dirk Biemans, President of Sungrow Farms. “This partnership ensures the continuation of our legacy as well as our commitment to our shareholders, employees, and the communities we’re in.”
