Brooks, OR – Boris Manz is the new General Manager of Curry Fruit Chile SA’s import and export Chilean Fruit Program. Curry Fruit Chile SA is located in Santiago Chile.
Curry Fruit Chile SA works with customers in Europe and Asia during the North American blueberry season, building on relationships established during the Chilean, Argentinean and Peruvian berry seasons.
Manz works closely with Curry & Company’s team during the West coast’s North American blueberry season which is currently harvesting in Oregon and Washington. Curry & Company’s packing facility is located just south of Portland, OR in the town of Brooks, OR.
Manz most recently worked for Vitalberry Marketing (VBM) in Chile where he helped establish and develop retail and wholesale programs for blueberries and cherries in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Peru and the United Kingdom.
“I like produce because it is very dynamic and the industry continues to grow worldwide,” states Manz. “Over the past three years, I’ve really learned how consumers around the world expect good quality and consistent product, every market is looking for the right piece of fruit for their customer base. I also see large growth opportunities in markets we are exploring such as the Middle East, India and China.”
According to company President, Matt Curry, “Boris brings a level of excitement to our team that is contagious. He has helped develop programs around the world for the past three years and he’s going to be a real asset to Curry Fruit Chile SA. He understands what customers want and knows how to communicate those messages and needs to our team.”
