Kingsville, ON (May 9, 2023) – Mastronardi Produce has been named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for the 14th year in a row and is encouraging Canadians to pursue a lifelong career with the company in the greenhouse produce industry.

Today, over 800 Canadians help carry on that legacy at facilities in Ontario and British Columbia with additional employees in neighboring United States and Mexico. Banded together under one ‘Flavor Nation’, employees lead a wide range of areas from research and development, sales, and marketing to operations, growing, and quality inspection.
