A&J Produce Corporation

A&J Produce Corporation has been in business since May of 1977. It was founded by three friends, Al Weiler, Joe Levantino, and John Tramutola, to whom the produce wholesale industry was by no means new. In fact, there was over seventy- five years of sales experience among them. In 1987, Al Weiler and John Tramutola bought out their partner and expanded the company from there. A&J Produce's wholesale operations commenced with the purchase of three units on Row A in the Hunts Point Terminal Market, Bronx, New York, and in over 40 years in business A&J has increased in size to include multiple units on both Row A (126-133, 137-144) and Row D (450- 463). Today, A&J Produce is one of the largest wholesalers of fresh fruit and vegetables in the market, servicing the New York and Northeast Areas. The Hunts Point Terminal Market is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Annual revenues exceed $2 billion. And it has capabilities to receive fresh produce by rail, tractor, and air cargo from virtually any place on earth. The Market caters to the largest ethnically diverse region in the world with an estimated population of 25 million people within a 50-mile radius. A&J Produce has actively participated with the ideals and goals of the Hunts Point Terminal Market for over 40 years. A&J Produce Corporation firmly believes that the key to its success is its commitment to providing customers in the tri-state area with only the finest quality fruit and produce. All at the most affordable prices. A&J takes pride in continuing to serve the best interest of its growers and customers alike.
