Expanding its predominantly North American footprint, healthy fresh foods producer Taylor Farms has invested in Hessing, a European processor and distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables headquartered in the Netherlands and serving customers in Germany, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
"We are excited to work with Hessing as we enter into this strategic partnership," said Bruce Taylor, chairman and CEO of Taylor Farms.
