Fall River, Mass – Blount Fine Foods, a leading manufacturer of hand-crafted artisan soups and gourmet dips, spreads and salads, today announced a shift in tradeshow strategy at the upcoming International Boston Seafood Show to be held March 20-22, 2011 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. This year, the company will focus the spotlight on its newest and fastest-growing product groups, its salads, dips and spreads. Over the years, Blount’s booth has become a popular spot on the tradeshow floor, where attendees can sample Blount products in larger-than-typical portions.
“As we have been for years, we will still be the place Boston Seafood Show attendees gravitate toward to sample great food that is served fresh and delicious,” said Bob Sewall, Blount’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “This year, we invite people to not only try our crowd-favorite soups, chowders and bisques, but also the products that are hot and in-demand out in the marketplace – our dips, salads and spreads.”
In the last year, Blount Fine Foods has doubled its production capacity, restructured its sales, distribution and executive ranks, and added several new product lines, all with the intention of better serving foodservice and retail customers across the country.
