Oregon Blueberries are one of natures perfect foods that are high in Potassium, Iron, and Calcium, and low in calories.

Delta International strives to develop one-on-one relationships with their packers, and under the strictest practices to ensure their clients are getting the highest quality of products from the highest quality in manufacturing. Their list of satisfied customers includes: Sejio Ishi, Kaldi coffee, Ito Yokado among others. As a member of the International Nut & Dried Fruit Council and working directly with the State of Oregon Japan Representative Office, Delta is an amazing opportunity for ALKM s wholly owned subsidiary Bell Food & Beverage to showcase its talents.

F&T International is a purveyor of some of the best foods from around the world. F&T s list of customers speaks for itself and the quality of its products. Established in 1987, F&T is focused on packing the freshness and taste of safe high-quality harvests from each region produced throughout the world, with standards that are second to none.

Pacific Flavors represents a tremendous opportunity for the Bell Campus, which in turn showcases the campus s versatility and broad spectrum of capabilities.

The Campus was handling Oregon Blueberries at approximately 50,000 pounds of blueberries daily and packed at speeds up to 108 jars per minute for Pacific Flavors, equating to as many as 60 pallets per shift.

We are very happy to announce that Pacific Flavors was thoroughly impressed with our output, quality, and capability, and graciously awarded Bell Food & Beverage this ongoing multi-year contract. Our program with Pacific Flavor should provide Bell with well over $1.3 million in annual gross revenue and growing, not including the additional yearly options to continue. We are very excited to be working with such a well-respected exporter, and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship together.
