Frank Dandrea, president of Dandrea Produce, said the move would extend the company's reach and revealed the combined business will generate revenues of US$600m annually.
"Our synergistic strategies with them enable us to now service the entire eastern seaboard including Canada. Courchesne Larose is a tremendously respected company and their association with Dandrea Produce will enrich us globally," he said.
Michel Routhier, part of the Routhier family that owns Courchesne Larose, added: "We have been looking long and hard for a partner who could enhance our global presence and Dandrea is that partner."
