In the world of produce, no two companies are quite alike—but even among industry leaders, Kopke stands out.

As a family-owned business that's thrived for decades, Kopke brings a rare mix of deep-rooted tradition and a relentless drive for innovation. “We all treat each other as family,” they say—and that same collaborative spirit shows in the way they run their operations, welcome new team members each year, and embrace bold new products, like their mango-flavored grape that's poised to shake up the market.

And while they may have started small, today Kopke is the largest distributor of grapes out of Chile, with an expanding footprint that now includes a new distribution center in Delano, California, and a strategic partnership with Safco of America, a West Coast-based importer of South American citrus and grapes.

Meeting the Challenge of a Fast-Moving Market

With growth comes complexity. More distribution channels. More products. More partners. And in the fast-paced, ever-shifting world of fresh produce, keeping up with it all requires more than just hard work—it requires smart tools that can keep up.

Managing seasonal surges, navigating shifting order volumes, and ensuring time-sensitive shipments across coasts—while maintaining quality and transparency—are daily realities for the Kopke team.

That’s where iTradeNetwork comes in.

Every day, Kopke relies on iTradeNetwork to manage and adjust orders on the fly, ensuring that shipments move efficiently, accurately, and with full visibility. Whether it's last-minute changes or time-sensitive updates, iTrade provides the speed and flexibility that the produce business demands.

Matthew Di Paola-Salomon, Account Manager at Kopke notes, “Things happen on a daily basis, and iTrade makes it a lot easier to get that information across—what’s going to ship, what’s changed.”

Even when challenges arise, iTrade’s responsive support team is just a call away.

“There’s always hiccups that happen in the produce industry. iTrade has been great when it comes to resolving issues… It’s been painless working with them.”

In a business where timing is everything, having a technology partner that understands the unique demands of produce—and responds with speed and clarity—makes all the difference.

A Partnership That Grows with You

From entering and adjusting orders to responding to real-time updates, iTrade puts control in the hands of the people closest to the action—enabling the Kopke team to make smarter decisions, faster.

“We’re now able to ship cross country, repack, and distribute seamlessly—West Coast, East Coast. So we’re growing. It’s very exciting,” noted Matthew Di Paola-Salomon.

And with new products launching every season, like their buzzworthy mango grape, Kopke is clearly just getting started.

As their network, product line, and distribution capabilities continue to grow, iTradeNetwork ensures they have the foundation to scale with confidence—ready for whatever comes next.
