VISTA PRIVATE EQUITY GROUP IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE SUCCESSFUL ACQUISITION OF NATUREBEST PRE-CUT & PRODUCE, LLC
Vista Private Equity Group (VPEG, LLC), acquired 100% of the assets of NatureBest Pre-Cut & Produce, LLC, a provider of a full line of pre-cut fresh fruits and vegetables to hospitals, wholesalers, food distributors, sports stadiums, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses throughout Texas and Louisiana. NatureBest is based in Houston, Texas and operates out of a 40,000 square foot facility. Currently, NatureBest offers approximately 1,500 items. The customized, shorter run product offering by NatureBest allows it to effectively compete with the large food distribution companies such as Sysco and U.S. Foods. The operation is very labor intensive and due to the shorter run, highly specialized product being processed, does not lend itself to significant automation. As a result, NatureBest offers a highly customized product offering, touting “cut, dice, slice and pack your way.”
