Fresh Del Monte Enters Multi-Year Partnership With Pittsburgh Pirates

Del Monte Foods Inc., a division of Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., announced a new multi-year partnership with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Del Monte brand made its official debut at PNC Park June 9 during the Pirates’ game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Del Monte signage is featured prominently on the left field wall, alongside sponsorship of the Pirates grounds crew and in-game activations throughout the season.

The announcement follows Del Monte’s recent reaffirmation of Pittsburgh as the operational hub for its foods division, where key functions including supply chain, finance, commercial operations and research and development are anchored.

Del Monte Foods’ history in Pittsburgh dates to 2002, when the company acquired several iconic brands, including StarKist, 9Lives and Nature’s Goodness, from Heinz.
