The Fresh Summit is a weekend event held every October, this year in New Orleans, and is the largest single produce convention in the world. It brings in buyers from the biggest global retail chains and top management of produce growers, packers and shippers.
This year more there more than 20,000 attendees.
“Traffic through the Pratt booth this year was the best to date,” said Ag team leader Cliff Vilcheck, “and it showed our commitment and quality packaging solutions for the industry have built a strong reputation in the market.”
Pratt also hosted a cocktail party for its customers at the famous French Quarter restaurant, K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen. Chef Paul Prudhommes Magic Seasoning Blends is also a customer.
“It was a great opportunity to strengthen our existing customer relationships and build new ones,” said Cliff.
