Many companies in the food industry were forced to re-evaluate their current business models in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if necessary, adapt to the changes to everyday life. If a big portion of their business had been in the foodservice industry, then processors needed to find a way to fill the void left by the shutdown of restaurants.
For some companies, there was opportunity in the middle of all the uncertainty. New avenues opened up and new revenue streams were uncovered. Some of those revenues may have been temporary measures to get through the pandemic, but some of those opportunities have led to permanent changes. One such company that has changed and grown is Marvell Foods, a Boca Raton, Fla., food broker. For years, the company has been involved in the buying and reselling of food products.
