Mastronardi Produce was recently named one of Canada's best run companies for the fifth consecutive year. The designation was awarded by a conglomeration of Deloitte, CIBC, National Post, Queen's School of Business, and MacKay CEO Forums.
Since first being named as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies in 2009, Mastronardi Produce has continued growing exponentially. Mastronardi is known for its sustainable business practices, from growing to packaging to distribution, as outlined in their Green Grass Project. The company's sustainable green efforts have exteneded throughout its operations, including its greenhouse Envirofresh Farms, located in Sombra, Ontario, which is the first carbon negative greenhouse in North America.
“My family has been passionate about growing flavorful produce for over 60 years,” says Paul Mastronardi. “It is an honor to continue to do what we love and to be recognized for it in such an extraordinary way.”
