Former Tocchini & Tocchini Inc. partner Rod Wyman has joined the Grant J. Hunt Company at the company’s headquarters in Oakland, CA.
Wyman joined Tocchini & Tocchini 32 years ago and became a partner in 2006. Tocchini & Tocchini was a fresh produce broker/distributor based in the San Francisco bay area and specialized potatoes and melons.
“We had a terrific run at Tocchini & Tocchini. My business partner Bob Tocchini, who has a true love for produce, decided it just might be time to retire at the age of 77. I’ve known and worked with the Grant J. Hunt Company for decades and there was an opportunity to join its dynamic team,” said Wyman.
Wyman’s core focus is on potatoes and onions from California and the Pacific Northwest as well as melons seasonally from California, Arizona, Mexico and Central America.
“We are excited to add Rod to our team,” said Sal Rizzo, Grant J. Hunt Company’s general manager. “We’ve known him for decades and have always had a great deal of respect and admiration for his relationships with the shippers Tocchini & Tocchini represented and his customer base. He brings a lot of experience and enthusiasm to our team.”
The Grant J. Hunt Company distributes fresh produce items including apples, pears, cherries, potatoes, onions, berries, citrus, kiwifruit and melons. It provides fresh produce throughout North America to retailers and wholesalers, with its core business on the West Coast. It is active in several produce associations and its marketing director, Eric Patrick, is the chair of PMA’s Membership Engagement Committee.
