In 1888, Alex Kontos sold his first stalk of bananas. He knew what it meant to work hard, and he knew his customers worked hard. He wanted to provide them with the best product and service possible.
The legacy Kontos began more than 100 years ago has carried throughout generations. The Kontos family continues to refine the art of banana processing, striving to provide the customer with the perfect banana. From stalks ripened in cool cellars on Morris Avenue, over 100 years age to the state-of-the-art pressurized ripening rooms of today, Kontos has consistently and progressively enhanced the quality and scope of their service.
