Montana Fruits takes a big step in its growth with the acquisition by Frutura

Montana Fruits, a leading exporter of Hass avocados and gulupa to markets in Europe and the United States, proudly announces its acquisition by Frutura, a world-class player in the fresh produce industry. This new relationship will be managed by Dayka & Hackett, part of Frutura.

Since its founding, Montana Fruits has worked tirelessly with a clear purpose: to improve the lives of people around the world through nutritious, delicious, and high-quality fruits, while promoting sustainability, social impact, and the progress of Colombia's agricultural export sector. Today, this vision is strengthened with the acquisition of Frutura, a company that shares the same values of excellence, innovation, and commitment to quality.

“We are delighted to have Montana join the Frutura family of companies,” said Stephen Fink, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Dayka & Hackett. “Being a true global player in the avocado market today would be challenging without a strong presence in Colombia, an incredibly important region for this product. And finding an exemplary partner like Montana, with young and intelligent leadership, is a perfect fit for Frutura’s growth ethos.”

“This is an exciting moment for everyone who has been part of Montana Fruits: our employees, customers, suppliers, and partners. We remain committed to our core values of close relationships, quality, and exceptional service. With the acquisition by Frutura, our dream of positioning Colombian fruit on the global stage is stronger than ever ,” stated Mauricio Moranth, CEO of Montana Fruits.

Frutura may be a significant global name in the fresh produce industry, but each of the companies on our platform operates its business with agile entrepreneurs. This is a great day for both companies.”

Frutura is a globally recognized organization known for its focus on the continuous supply of premium products, distinguished by its responsibility, reciprocal relationships, and commitment to sustainability. Its experience and support will further strengthen Montana Fruits, increasing its competitiveness and significantly contributing to the growth of the Hass avocado industry in Colombia.

This acquisition marks a turning point for Montana Fruits, enabling sustained growth and expanding its impact in international markets. While the company has been active in exporting other fruits such as passion fruit and lemons, its focus on Hass avocados aligns with a strategy of specialization and consolidation in a high-demand market, where Colombia has enormous potential.

With this new stage, Montana Fruits reaffirms its commitment to bringing the best of Colombia to the world, generating a positive impact on the industry and on everyone involved in its value chain.
