Expofrut

Argentina’s leading topfruit supplier Expofrut has undergone a period of restructuring following the departure of two long-standing and senior members – Alberto Lacaze and Roberto Gregori – towards the end of last year.

Now headed by Cristian Skou and vice-president Carlos Resio, the group is keen to reposition itself on the international produce market, according to a report by Diario Río Negro.

After joining Expofrut three months ago, Mr Skou told the publication he has appointed a new marketing team comprising well-known and experienced executives within the Argentinean and global fruit trade.

Those include: commercial director Adolfo Storni (formerly of citrus giant San Miguel), Juan “Pancho” Verel (Kleppe), Enrique Allende (Moño Azul) and Dafne Anghelidis (Maersk).

With the backing of the marketing team, Mr Skou said he is looking forward to establishing a new Expofrut by restructuring internal costs and boosting the efficiency of current commercial channels.
