Baldor Divisions
Baldor has inside its umbrella several different companies that facilitate some very unique functions.
Ipex (International Produce Exchange)
Ipex is the branch of Baldor responsible for international procurement. It consists of a team of multilingual buyers who contact independent farmers all over the world and consign them to grow specifically for us. Our Ipex team speaks with farmers in countries like France, Italy, Central and South America every day of the week. IPEX will often contract a farm's entire harvest.
Purchasing directly from the farmer affords us countless benefits:
We achieve direct access to an array of produce not seasonably available in the U.S. By eliminating middlemen such as importers and distributors, we end up with better quality produce and much better pricing. By consulting directly with the farmer himself, IPEX has some input in growing and packaging techniques and can learn about weather conditions and impending market fluctuations firsthand.
In their endless quest for better quality control and lower shipping costs, IPEX is now moving into the arena of seed procurement. They are buying seeds from all over the world and offering them to North American farmers located in microclimates similar to that of the seed source. In doing so, they are trying to cultivate specific off-shore crops closer to our base of operations in New York. This will reduce transportations costs and food miles traveled, in which helps the environment while extending shelf life.
IPEX is committed to ensuring that customers have a steady, affordable, year-round supply of whatever produce they desire. The world today is a vast global marketplace and IPEX helps brings those markets to your door.
