Mastronardi Produce/SUNSET® Celebrates its 60th Anniversary



This year, Mastronardi Produce/SUNSET® is celebrating its 60th anniversary. Back in the 40s, Grandpa Mastronardi saw a need for greenhouse produce and pioneered the North American greenhouse industry. In 1954, the Mastronardi family founded Mastronardi Produce Ltd, an exclusive greenhouse growing company. From then on, Mastronardi Produce has been known as leaders in the industry. In 1995, SUNSET® pushed the boundaries of flavor by introducing a European tomato. For the first time in history, a tomato was called by name - Campari®. Today, Campari® is among many SUNSET® brands that are nationally renowned for their distinct flavor, versatility, and exceptional quality. SUNSET® has become known for their flavorful, innovative ideas and bringing new items to market successfully. CEO Paul Mastronardi tells us, “Our plan is to keep growing with our retail partners and flavor connoisseurs for many more generations. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.” Happy Anniversary!
