Warm greetings to you from Furmano's. Here in the heart of Pennsylvania farmland, my great grandfather began canning tomatoes in 1921. Ever since he took his first tomatoes to market, the Furmano's brand has been synonymous with superior quality, great tasting tomatoes. We've come a long way from the days when he and my great grandmother used a family recipe to prepare the tomatoes in a copper kettle on their kitchen stove. But, we've never strayed from the high standards that my great grandfather, J.W. Furman set. We're proud of that.
Today, we're still a family run business, although our "family" now includes hundreds of employees. At Furmano's, we pride ourselves on our quality and flexibility as well as our ability to meet the needs of our customers in multiple marketplaces servicing the retail, foodservice, manufacturing, export, branded, and private label markets.
We combine state-of-the-art agricultural and manufacturing technology with a kinship to the earth that comes from four generations of farming in this region. We still grow most of our tomatoes and vegetables right here in the fertile Susquehanna River Valley, and we process millions of cases of tomatoes at our plant in Northumberland, PA. Holding true to our heritage, we continue to thank God daily for the abundant blessings we've enjoyed over the years. As stewards of the land we work, we are sensitive to ecological concerns. We employ farming techniques that are environmentally friendly as well as safe for the surrounding community. Many of us grew up and still live in the area, so we strive to be a good corporate citizen and a positive contributor.
I welcome you to try our quality, great tasting tomatoes and experience the difference made by generations of excellence.
Sincerely,
Chad Geise
President
