Gem-Pack Berries LLC, Irvine, Calif., is “producing smoothly and efficiently” since the company merged with Salinas, Calif.-based Red Blossom Sales Inc. last fall, said Craig Casca, chief marketing officer.

Besides its California strawberry program, the company ships raspberries and blueberries from Mexico out of McAllen, Texas.

“Our main change is the transition and synthesis of teams from the merger,” Casca said.

Casca, Paul Kawamura and Trent Etchandy are the main sales crew.
