Del Monte Foods keeps Pittsburgh base, expands leadership presence
Pittsburgh will serve as the central hub for Del Monte Foods Inc., a division of Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., and it will continue to operate in the region following its acquisition by Fresh Del Monte.
Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Fresh Del Monte’s chairman and CEO, said the company plans to deepen its presence in Pittsburgh while continuing to invest in local employees, partnerships and the community.
Del Monte Foods said its Pittsburgh ties date to 2002, when it acquired several brands — including Nature’s Goodness and StarKist — from Heinz. Del Monte Foods said core functions for its Foods division will be anchored in Pittsburgh, including supply chain, finance, commercial operations, and research and development.
