Welcome to Panama's Newly Designed Website

Since 1925, Panama has served the food and produce industry with a diverse range of services and solutions. With nearly a century of fine produce distribution under our belt, we’ve got our eye on the future, developing new and innovative ways to serve retail grocery stores, food service companies, and national chain stores. Supplying our customers with fresh produce delivered on time and within their budget has been a privilege and work we’re passionate about. 

 

We invite you to get to know our services and brand new website, developed to showcase who we are and what we can do for you.

 

Storage and Ripening

 

Panama features a state-of-the-art ripening and storage facility at our Chicago location. It’s crucial to maintain and ripen perishables at the proper temperature and humidity level. Our technicians continually monitor factors like temperature and airflow to ensure that conditions are optimum. Customers can depend on us to maintain the food-chain with care before delivering orders to their destinations. From berries to leafy greens, our storage solutions are designed to enhance the shelf life of your produce. 

 

Repacking and Packaging

 

Panama has invested in the best resources and tools to make us a leader in repacking and packaging perishables. We offer several different packaging styles and don’t charge extra for private label packaging. We’re able to package by count or weight and maintain our services with the precision you’d expect from a world-class produce distributor.

 

Logistics

 

Transporting produce in today’s global marketplace requires extraordinary logistical management. Panama has taken all the necessary steps to transport our customers’ produce to its destination on time. Moreover, ensuring optimum conditions for produce orders is our constant priority. Refrigerated transport with temperature control, dependable trucking service, and dedicated crews help us provide each customer with the best possible service. 

 

Local and International Partnerships

 

Panama’s long history in the industry has allowed us to network with growers all over the globe as well as right here in the Midwest. We encourage our customers to source the produce they want–not simply what appears to be available. We go above and beyond to find the excellent quality products our customers need to serve their own clientele with reliability–order after order!

 

We invite you to explore our new website and to get to know our services in greater detail. Panama has an illustrious past service record that we’re very proud of, but we’re looking toward the future and how we can best continue our commitment to top quality produce distribution. 

 

Please contact us if you have questions about our storage and ripening, packaging, and logistics services. We are conveniently located in the heart of Chicago’s distribution networks. We look forward to hearing from you or supplying you with the food distribution services you need.
