New Acquisition Helps Lipman Family Farms Grow Southern California Reach

South Florida-based Lipman Family Farms has acquired Inland Premium Packers, a tomato repacking operation in Riverside, CA. The acquisition gives Lipman a value-added presence inside the Southern California market and connects the region to the company’s existing operations in Nogales, AZ, Phoenix, Northern California, Oregon, Colorado, and Mexico. For retail and foodservice buyers across the Southwest U.S., product packed in Riverside means fewer food miles, fresher product on arrival and quicker turnaround on orders.

“Southern California is one of the largest markets in the country, and this acquisition solidifies our presence there,” says Elyse Lipman, CEO of Lipman Family Farms. “We’re building on our Southern California relationships, and now we have infrastructure to ensure fresher supply through our network.”

Inland Premium Packers is a well-established re-packer in the produce industry. Its team will continue to operate and support the client base in that market as they have done for the last 20 years, according to Lipman.
