Scattaglia Growers & Shippers (SGS)

What Scattaglia Growers & Shippers (SGS) does

Scattaglia Growers & Shippers (SGS) is a privately held, family-owned stone fruit grower and shipper headquartered in Kingsburg, California, in the heart of the Central Valley. Founded in 2007 by Louis Scattaglia to commercialize generations of family growing expertise, SGS produces, packs, and ships premium conventional and organic stone fruit — peaches, plums, nectarines, table grapes, and cherries — to grocery retailers and supermarket chains. The company maintains orchards in the high desert foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and the southern San Joaquin Valley, and extends its supply window through closely supervised growing partners in Chile, Peru, Brazil, and Mexico, enabling year-round service to retail customers.

The business operates on a pure B2B commodity produce model with no proprietary software, platform, or disclosed technology stack. The company differentiates on a disciplined harvest-timing protocol that waits until fruit reaches optimum brix (sugar) and pressure levels, combined with gentle post-harvest handling, rapid cooling, and prompt loading. SGS holds GLOBALG.A.P. and Primus GFS food safety certifications, signaling adherence to internationally recognized farm and supply chain audit standards. The product mix spans eight core SKUs across conventional and organic lines, supported by retailer-facing materials including PLU labels, availability calendars, variety lists, and fruit sizing charts.

Revenue mechanics are entirely transactional wholesale produce sales negotiated directly with retail buyers, with no disclosed public pricing, recurring contract structure, or subscription model. The go-to-market is a dedicated enterprise field sales function targeting supermarket produce departments, supplemented by a consumer-facing content marketing layer (website, newsletter, recipes, video) aimed at driving pull-through demand at retail. The core organization is lean — roughly a dozen named personnel spanning sales, grower relations, operations, cold storage, accounting, and field coordination — with operational capacity scaled through partner growers and seasonal labor.
