Blueberry cooperative MBG Marketing goes global

MBG Marketing – The Blueberry People has taken a step into the global foods market by establishing MB GLOBAL FOODS. Doing so will complement MBG Marketing’s commitment to growing their product portfolio in cooperation with Naturipe Value Added Foods, according to the company.

Stephen Mullin and Paul Gibis, two food industry veterans, will be managing MB GLOBAL FOODS, a new international frozen fruit and vegetable business, from Hudson QC, Canada, beginning in March 2017.

MBG Marketing plans to make substantial capital investments into its two existing IQF and value added processing facilities in Michigan and Georgia to support MB GLOBAL FOODS’ key initiatives, according to the company. These initiatives will include the procurement of food stocks from around the world to support these processing capabilities.

Steve and Paul will be present during the AFFI-Con 2017 meetings being held March 4-7 in San Diego, California. They can be contacted at either [email protected] or [email protected].
