Taylor Fresh Foods has purchased substantially all assets of Club Chef in Covington, KY, a division of the Castellini Group of Cos. The Covington facility will continue full operations under the leadership of the Taylor Farms Tennessee operating company.

“Club Chef has a long history of leadership in the foodservice fresh-cut vegetable industry,” said Bruce Taylor, chairman and chief executive officer of Salinas, CA-based Taylor Farms. “We are honored to complete this transaction and establish a distribution partnership with the Castellini Company.”

“This transaction provides a wonderful opportunity for our employees and customers who are joining Taylor Fresh Foods and allows us to be singularly focused on growing in areas of the produce supply chain where Castellini has, for over 120 years, provided great value to its customers,” said Brian Kocher, CEO of the Castellini Group of Cos. “Castellini Group of Companies looks forward to the expanded relationship with Taylor Farms and overwhelming our current and prospective customers with the value that we can provide.”
