Paramount Farms and Roll Global become officially Wonderful

USA. Roll Global has officially changed its name to The Wonderful Company. As part of the strategic move, operating unit Paramount Farms has been renamed Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds.

Wonderful Pistachios entered the travel retail channel in 2012, and is now available in 53 locations worldwide, as demand for healthier snack options continues to fuel listings. Following the parent company name change, Sales Director Australia, SE Asia and Global Travel Retail James Kfouri can now be contacted on email: James.Kfouri@wonderful.com

One of the USA’s largest and fastest-growing produce companies, The Wonderful Company aims to build upon its position as the world’s largest grower of tree nuts and the USA’s largest citrus grower, while leveraging its new name to unify the company’s presence in the marketplace and deepen its connection with consumers.

“At the Wonderful Company, we are totally integrated in our approach to farming and distribution – we grow our produce, then harvest, package and deliver to a store near you,” explained Co-Owner and President Stewart Resnick. “We established this vertical structure to ensure that our quality standards are maintained at every step along the way from our orchards to your tables.”

In addition to Wonderful Pistachios, the company portfolio includes Wonderful Halos, POM Wonderful, Fiji Water, Teleflora and Justin Wine.
