Katzman announces the appointment of Stefanie Katzman, fourth generation in her family's business, to CEO. Under Stefanie Katzman's leadership, the company is rebranding to a family of produce companies and debuting a new logo, look, and feel.
"The rebrand is a result of our ongoing expansion," said Stefanie Katzman. "Our industry partners will continue to have access to our expertise, relationships, and offerings, and with this next chapter, we can provide increased and enhanced services."

The Katzman family has been in the produce business for over 100 years, beginning with a horse and wagon. It has since grown into one of the largest produce wholesale operations in New York City. Katzman Produce (formerly S. Katzman Produce), led by Stephen Katzman, will continue to operate out of the Hunts Point Produce Market in Bronx, NY.
After several years of planning and preparation, the new operation of Katzman Distribution was launched outside of the Hunts Point Produce Market this past April. "We saw an opportunity to help independent retailers transform their business through the produce department," said Stefanie Katzman. Since opening, the company has been servicing retailers in the Northeast out of its first facility in Burlington, NJ.
Katzman Logistics, which includes a fleet of delivery trucks, was also created to ensure quality, control, and timely service throughout the last mile of the supply chain.

Collectively, Katzman includes growing, shipping, importing, brokerage, wholesale, distribution, and logistics, with footprints in multiple facilities throughout New York and New Jersey, and reach throughout the Northeast.
"Our future can be summed up in one word, and that's 'growth,'" said Stefanie Katzman. "Through our continued growth, in partnership with our suppliers and customers, we seek to increase access to fresh, delicious, nutritious produce that drives repeat consumption, so we can improve lives through fresh produce."
