Wonderful Citrus acquired the operations of Texas Citrus Exchange, one of the largest citrus juice processors in Texas. The operations of TCX have been renamed Rio Grande Juice Co., a division of Wonderful Citrus. John Glenn, who was previously chief operating officer of Sun Orchard Inc., has been named vice president of Rio Grande.

“The operations of TCX are a perfect complement to our citrus business,” David Krause, president of Wonderful Citrus, said in a press release.  “The addition of the team from TCX expands our already robust operations in Texas.”

All of TCX’s more than 100 employees based in Mission, TX, are expected to join Wonderful Citrus after the close of the deal.  The current TCX management team will remain in place with the addition of Glenn.

Wonderful Citrus is famous for its signature brand Wonderful Halos and is one of the nation’s largest suppliers of fresh grapefruit, including Texas red grapefruit under the brand Wonderful Sweet Scarletts.
