SAN FRANCISCO, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — GrubMarket, the AI-powered technology enabler and digital transformer of the American food supply chain industry, as well as one of the largest private food eCommerce companies globally, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Nogales, AZ-based Delta Fresh Produce, a leading distributor specializing in tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, grapes, watermelons, and various other fresh produce commodities sourced from Mexico.

Delta Fresh manages an extensive farming and distribution network across Mexico, including over 900 acres of open-field production, 1,400 acres of indoor production, and state-of-the-art packing facilities across Baja, Sonora, Sinaloa, and Central Mexico. Strong, longstanding grower relationships allow Delta Fresh to access thousands of additional acres of production throughout Mexico, enabling the company to supply customers year-round. The company’s extensive customer base includes prominent grocery retailers such as Walmart and Kroger; national restaurant chains including Subway, Jack in the Box, In-N-Out Burger, and Chipotle; as well as national distributors such as Sysco and AWG.

Established in 1928, Delta Fresh Produce is a multi-generational business success story. Today, Atanasio Panousopoulos leads Delta Fresh, after taking over from his father, a produce industry pioneer in both the U.S. and Mexico. In his 30 years of experience with the business, Atanasio has grown Delta Fresh’s expansive U.S. operations to include a sprawling 156,000 square foot warehouse in Nogales, AZ; an 80,000 square foot facility in McAllen, TX; and a 30,000 square foot space in San Diego, CA, while continuing to strengthen the company’s grower relationships, some of which have spanned decades of partnership.

Furthermore, Delta Fresh is highly regarded for its proactive approach to food safety. The company maintains Primus GFS certification and has been an industry leader in establishing rigorous standards for safety practices that go beyond regulatory requirements, including frequent random audits of both its growing operations as well as distribution facilities. After the acquisition, the business will continue to be managed by its current experienced, mission-driven leadership team led by Atanasio.

Atanasio Panousopoulos comments: “Joining GrubMarket marks an exciting new chapter for Delta Fresh Produce. We are proud of our deep-rooted heritage and the operational excellence we’ve achieved through the generations. GrubMarket’s commitment to AI technology and innovation aligns perfectly with our vision to further elevate our capabilities through integrating technology into our operations at scale, strengthening our customer relationships, and driving future growth. We look forward to the incredible opportunities that lie ahead of us, as part of the GrubMarket family.”

Mike Xu, CEO of GrubMarket, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Delta Fresh Produce to the GrubMarket family. Delta Fresh’s longstanding legacy in the produce industry in both the U.S. and Mexico, extensive grower and distribution networks, and exceptional reputation for food safety make them an ideal partner for GrubMarket as we continue to expand our strategic presence across North America. This acquisition significantly enhances our capabilities to serve customers nationally with high-quality, reliable produce year-round.”

As part of GrubMarket’s portfolio, Delta Fresh will have access to GrubMarket’s proprietary, AI-powered software solutions, including; WholesaleWare, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) ERP platform that provides food industry wholesalers, distributors, and shippers with seamless financial management, powerful sales support, online ordering, precise inventory management, lot traceability, grower accounting, and automated routing and logistics; GrubAssist, GrubMarket’s groundbreaking suite of agentic enterprise AI assistants that empower food supply chain businesses with deep insights, intelligent analysis, and automated order processing; Orders IO, GrubMarket’s custom-branded, mobile eCommerce solution; and GrubPay, the company’s digital payments platform specifically designed for the needs of the food supply chain industry.

The recognition highlights Grundfos Pumps India’s market leadership in sustainable pumps, industrial water management, and energy-efficient pumping solutions driven by digitalization and water stewardship.

SAN ANTONIO, April 28, 2026 /CNW/ — Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Grundfos Pumps India Pvt. Ltd. has received the 2026 Indian Company of the Year Recognition in the Sustainable Pumps for Industrial Water category for its outstanding achievements in sustainability-led innovation, strategy execution, and measurable customer impact. This recognition underscores the company’s consistent leadership in advancing energy-efficient pumping systems, strengthening its position in India’s industrial water market, and enabling customers to manage water and energy more responsibly in an increasingly resource-constrained environment.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Grundfos Pumps India excelled in both dimensions, demonstrating a clear ability to align long-term strategic priorities with evolving industrial demand while executing them with discipline, scalability, and consistency. Emphasizing the perspective shared in the assessment, Fredrick Royan, Associate Partner, Sustainability at Frost & Sullivan, said, “Grundfos Pumps India is positioned to shape the next phase of industrial water pumps by combining technological ambition with verifiable sustainability outcomes, transforming water management into a strategic driver of national progress and competitive differentiation.”

Guided by a long-term growth strategy centered on sustainability, digitalization, and application-centric engagement, Grundfos Pumps India has demonstrated strategic agility in adapting global engineering expertise to local industrial realities. The company’s sustained investment in smart pumping technologies, variable-speed solutions, and data-enabled system optimization has allowed it to scale effectively across high-growth industrial sectors in India, including manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, mobility, semiconductors, and energy-intensive process industries.

Innovation remains integral to Grundfos Pumps India’s approach to the industrial water ecosystem. Its comprehensive portfolio of sustainable pumps, pump systems, digital controls, and smart filtration solutions addresses the full lifecycle of industrial water management, from intake and treatment to reuse and discharge. By enabling demand-based pumping, advanced monitoring, and adaptive control, these solutions help customers reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and improve system reliability.

“India’s industrial transformation will be defined by how intelligently we manage water. At Grundfos, we see technology not just as an enabler, but as a catalyst for a more resilient and resource‑positive future. By combining advanced pumping intelligence with data‑driven water management, we are empowering industries to move beyond incremental efficiency and embrace system‑level sustainability that safeguards both operational continuity and long‑term competitiveness,” said Shankar Rajaram, Head of Sales, IND Division at Grundfos Pumps India.

Grundfos Pumps India’s emphasis on customer experience reinforces its leadership in sustainable pumps for industrial water. The company supports customers through digital services, optimization programs, repair and lifecycle services, and transparent engagement models that allow users to validate performance before and after deployment. Its application-driven methodology, combined with localized sales and service support across India, enables long-term partnerships built on trust, reliability, and measurable outcomes rather than stand-alone product transactions.

Frost & Sullivan commends Grundfos Pumps India for setting a high benchmark in competitive strategy, execution excellence, and market responsiveness. The company’s ability to integrate smart pumping, digital platforms, renewable energy alignment, and water stewardship is shaping the future of industrial water management in India and delivering tangible economic and environmental value at scale.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Recognition to an organization that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market performance, customer value, and competitive positioning. The recognition highlights organizations that are redefining industry standards through innovation, excellence in growth, and long-term impact.
