PRO*ACT, America’s leading fresh produce supplier to the foodservice industry, has announced that Armstrong Produce, with headquarters in Honolulu, has joined the company’s national distribution network.
Armstrong, the largest produce company in Hawaii, is in its 31st year of business. The founding family has been involved in produce longer, however. The first generation of the Teruya family started in the 1920s as farmers. Their business expanded into a wholesale operation. Then, in 1979, second-generation Harold Teruya purchased Armstrong Produce. The company is now run by third-generation family members, with Mark Teruya as chairman and CEO.
Armstrong has facilities on Maui and the Big Island in addition to its headquarters in Honolulu, giving the company statewide distribution. Perishable products are delivered by plane while sturdier produce items such as cabbage and potatoes are delivered by boat.
