ID NEWS: Pro*Act enters Canada market

MONTEREY, CA - Pro*Act, LLC, here has added its first member in Canada-Hector Larivee, Inc., Montreal - and expects to announce a second Canadian affiliate, this one in the Toronto area, by the beginning of next week, according to Lloyd Ligier, vice president of business development.

"Our goal is for full Canadian coverage within 12 to 18 months for any of our U.S. customers with units there," Ligier notes.

The produce distributor group totals 38 members in all, ringing up in excess of $2 billion in aggregate sales, primarily in the foodservice arena. Most are produce specialists; any broadliners in the group generally do more than 30% of their overall volume in produce, Ligier points out.

In addition, two members were added in the U.S. this year, in the Miami and Memphis markets.
