Taylor Farms has announced an investment in Hessing, a leading European processor and distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables. Hessing has grown into a recognized leader in Europe’s fresh produce industry. Headquartered in the Netherlands, Hessing serves customers in Germany, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The company operates a modern fruit processing facility in Schwalmtal, Germany, and a state-of-the-art vegetable production site in Greenport Venlo, Netherlands.
This new collaboration with Taylor Farms will allow Hessing to execute its strong growth strategy with innovative advancements. Despite the partnership, Hessing will continue to operate as a family business, retaining majority ownership. Taylor Farms carries a diverse range of gluten-free Chopped Salad Kits, from Avocado Ranch Chopped Salad Kit to Thai Chili Mango, and plenty of options in between.

By combining our respective knowledge and expertise, we can accelerate the development of fresh food innovations and capitalize on new opportunities in Europe together. Our mutual commitment to innovation aligns with our goal of creating a positive impact across the entire supply chain.”
