Del Monte Corporation completes global brand unification and renames Fresh Del Monte Produce

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. has changed its corporate name to Del Monte Corporation, marking the first time in almost four decades that the Del Monte brand is consolidated under a single global organization. The rebranding follows shareholder approval and the completion of the acquisition of Del Monte Foods Corporation II Inc. and its affiliates, a transaction conducted under a U.S. bankruptcy court‑supervised sale.

The deal excludes the canned‑fruit and long‑shelf‑life product divisions serving the United States, Puerto Rico and Mexico, as well as the College Inn and Kitchen Basics brands. From 29 June 2026 the company will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the new ticker “DMC,” replacing the former “FDP.” CEO Mohammad Abu‑Ghazaleh said the unified structure will strengthen the group’s international presence, spur innovation and unlock growth opportunities, especially in fresh and refrigerated product segments. In Italy, Del Monte Italy srl remains a major operator in fresh tropical fruit and pre‑cut produce.
