2009-11-19 01:37:06 - Eurofresh Inc, one of Southern Arizona’s largest employers and the leading year-round producer and marketer of greenhouse tomatoes in the United States, exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today.

Eurofresh Inc., DBA Eurofresh Farms, and its subsidiary Eurofresh Produce Ltd., emerged from bankruptcy less than seven months after they originally reached a recapitalization agreement with their investors, including Eurofresh founder and current chairman, Johan van den Berg. The company originally announced their financial reorganization on April 21, 2009.

Dwight Ferguson, chief executive officer of Eurofresh, said the company is emerging from bankruptcy stronger than ever, and will continue searching for future growth opportunities.

“The future for Eurofresh has never been brighter,” he said. “We look forward to providing the highest quality produce and services available to our customers for many years to come.”
