Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla., Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: IVFH) (“IVFH” or the “Company”), a national seller of gourmet specialty foods to professional chefs, announced today the shipment of its largest purchase order in company history through its newly established partnership with a top 10 U.S. retailer.

This milestone order totaled $676,000 of gourmet cheese. This order represented an acceleration of approximately twenty times compared to our cheese production rates of only two weeks prior. The scale and complexity of this order highlight the strength of IVFH’s operational capabilities and its commitment to delivering premium products at scale. To meet the demands of this partnership, IVFH recently installed four new high-efficiency packaging machines. This marks a significant expansion of the Company’s operational infrastructure.

Outlook for Q4 and Beyond

As IVFH continues to ramp up production to serve its new retail partner, the Company expects substantial revenue growth throughout Q4 of 2024. Due to startup costs associated with the expansion, IVFH expects profits from this partnership to begin materializing in early 2025.

Bill Bennett, Chief Executive Officer of IVFH, commented, “This is an exciting time for our company as we expand into the retail market. The size and scale of this order speak to the tremendous opportunity ahead, and we are confident that our investments in people, infrastructure, and technology will continue to drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
