Nathel & Nathel now distributes produce from to 23 units.

The distributor also upgraded the warehouse to Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point standards.

Better refrigeration control in different zones will result from the improvements, according to company vice president Sheldon Nathel said.    It also should result in better temperature control for fruits and vegetables as well as better organize the operation, making it more efficient.

Nathel & Nathel sells a full line of fruits and vegetables, including tropicals and specialties, to customers throughout the Tri-State region.

The Hunts Point Terminal Market occupies 329 acres and supports 115 private wholesalers that employ over 8,000 people.
