PROFILE |
 |
Geest wants to feed Europe its daily servings of salad and vegetables ... and pizza. Geest distributes produce and makes prepared foods; the latter accounts for about 75% of sales. It also makes dips, dressings, pasta and sauces, ready meals, soups, and specialty breads -- mainly under private labels. The company has grabbed market share in the UK and continental Europe through acquisitions like French salad maker CinquiEme Saison and by developing 600 new items. Geest distributes produce through a joint venture with Enzafruit. The company was founded in 1935 to import and sell flower bulbs and began selling produce after WWII. It has facilities in Belgium, France, South Africa, and the UK.
