One Banana, Coral Gables, FL, has opened a new 19,800-square-foot ripening and distribution center 12 miles from the Port of Wilmington, NC, to speed fresh produce to East Coast and Mid-Atlantic markets for their current banana clients as well as other distributors of fresh produce in the mid Atlantic.

The state-of-the-art facility includes seven 42-pallet ripening rooms, over 580 pallet cold storage capacity with container plug-ins, and services such as drayage, cross-docking, re-palletization, and inspections — all designed to cut dwell time, protect quality, and improve supply chain efficiency for bananas, avocados, mangos, tomatoes, pears and other fresh produce.
