Ipex
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 say 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 would reduce transportations costs, extend shelf life and make available in this country products that are currently not permitted for import by the FDA.
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. |

Hunts Point Cold Storage and Logistics
This is a division under the Baldor umbrella that was created to utilize the vast amount of refrigerated storage space we have. Because we have the capacity to purchase and store full containers (approx. 3, 648 pallets) of Belgian endive, for example, we can sell it at a very competitive price. We purchase and distribute this endive through Hunts Point Cold Storage and Logistics and filter it throughout the tri-state area at great savings to retail customers.
Hunt's Point Cold Storage and Logistics also offers storage service to customers who don't have storage space of their own. We will pick up and store volumes of their produce for a fee. Even the Hunts Point Market uses this Baldor service from time to time. |
