Greenberg Traurig Advises Fresh Del Monte in Successful Bid to Acquire Del Monte Foods Assets for $285 Million

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Jan. 23, 2026 - Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A. advised Coral Gables, Fla.-based Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE: FDP) in connection with its successful bid to acquire select assets from Del Monte Foods Corp. II Inc., a leading producer and distributor of packaged food.

The proposed $285 million purchase, plus the assumption of certain liabilities, is subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey as part of Del Monte Foods' Chapter 11 restructuring. The court-supervised sale is scheduled for approval at a Jan. 28 hearing. Closing would then follow by the end of the first quarter of 2026, subject to necessary regulatory approvals, according to the company's press release.

Under the terms of the deal, Fresh Del Monte would acquire Del Monte Foods' prepared and packaged foods business and the operational footprint that includes select manufacturing facilities across the United States, Mexico, and Venezuela.

The proposed transaction brings the Del Monte brand under one owner for the first time in nearly four decades and integrates fresh and shelf-stable foods within one overall strategy, the companies said.

The Greenberg Traurig team that advised Fresh Del Monte was led by Fort Lauderdale Corporate Shareholder Kara L. MacCullough, New York and Miami Shareholder and Co-Chair of the firm's Global Restructuring & Special Situations Practice Oscar N. Pinkas, and New York Restructuring & Special Situations Shareholder Leo Muchnik.
