FreshEdge, a prominent fresh food distribution company backed by the private-equity firm Wind Point Partners, has expanded its portfolio by acquiring Western Sky Produce. This fresh produce service provider, based in California’s Salinas Valley, was established in March 2020 by seasoned professionals Wyatt Meiggs and Phil Giles. Their expertise has allowed Western Sky Produce to focus on creating tailored solutions across procurement, distribution, logistics, and consolidation, assisting clients in effectively managing the perishable supply chain.

In welcoming Western Sky, FreshEdge CEO Steve Grinstead highlighted the shared commitment to customer-centric service and integrity. This acquisition is anticipated to enhance supply chain efficiency and provide unprecedented service to a widening customer base. FreshEdge President Greg Corsaro stated his enthusiasm for collaborating with the team at Western Sky to bolster their exceptional service track record.

Wyatt Meiggs echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the power of collaboration in driving innovation and sustainable growth. The recent integration of Western Sky into the FreshEdge family aligns with a strategic vision to improve operations and build stronger customer relationships. Over the past year, FreshEdge has also made significant acquisitions, including Sirna & Sons Produce and KT Produce, further fortifying its position in the fresh food market.

This merger not only promises to enhance supply chain efficiency but marks a significant step towards unified solutions for clients navigating the complexities of the fresh produce industry.
