CIO Solutions Partners with Hollandia Produce, LLC

May 17, 2013 – CIO Solutions, Santa Barbara’s premier IT firm, has begun providing IT support for Hollandia Produce, LLC, a multi-faceted agricultural concern specializing in greenhouse-grown vegetables.

As a producer of Live Gourmet® brand butter lettuce, upland cress, and 3-n-1 lettuce, Hollandia Produce, LLC provides many of the major supermarket chains in the western states with a year-round supply of premium quality produce. All of their vegetable products are produced hydroponically in state-of-the-art greenhouses where they control light, temperature, humidity, and nutrients. By controlling these factors Hollandia Produce, LLC can increase yields, shorten crop times and produce a uniquely uniform high-quality product on a year-round basis.

Hollandia has been in business for over 43 years and is very active in the community. They recently donated multiple salad bars to local high schools as part of the Let’s Move Salad Bars to California Schools initiative.

CIO is providing comprehensive IT support for Hollandia’s multiple sites and users as well as completing a number of infrastructure projects which are focused on Hollandia’s growth.

Garry Pealer, Hollandia CFO, stated, “Hollandia is very pleased with our engagement of CIO Solutions because they are quick to respond to our varying needs and address important issues efficiently as well as effectively.  We are pleased to have CIO Solutions assisting Hollandia Produce, LLC to create a robust IT platform as we head into the next several years of rapid growth for our enterprise.”
