Ben Chroniger's Company Details

Coastal Sunbelt Produce was established in May 1992 through the merger of Coastal Produce Co. of Baltimore and Sunbelt Produce Co. of Washington DC and has since become a major force in the produce industry and a leader in the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan market. Operating from a 165,000 square foot "state-of-the-art" facility in Savage MD, the company provides quality products, industry leading service, and timely delivery to customers in Maryland, Virginia, D.C., Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and North Carolina. Coastal Sunbelt Produce serves the region's leading restaurant chains, independents, hotels, institutions and food service establishments. Employing over 500 people, the company operates a fleet of 150 trucks and an on-site 10 bay maintenance facility. The company also maintains a high level rating in both the Red Book and Blue Book. In January of 2007, Coastal Sunbelt Produce was acquired by MCG Capital and Coastal Sunbelt's Management Team, representing the next logical step in the company's evolution and the final transition of the company to its management team. In conjunction with the transaction, the company announced the appointment of John Corso as the company's new President and CEO. The company's founders, Phil Muth and Paul Lebling, remain associated with Coastal Sunbelt Produce as advisors and have retained a minority interest in the company. Coastal Sunbelt has grown significantly by investing in people, process and equipment and by exceeding the expectations of our customers. These principles remain at the heart of our company and will be the basis for our future success.
