The Tempe, Ariz. - based company began in 1984 as a citrus packinghouse adjunct that made orange and grapefruit juice for local restaurants and hotels.
In 2000, the Sallins purchased a packinghouse from Dole Citrus, which transformed IMG Citrus into a vertically integrated business that could produce, pack and market grapefruits, oranges and tangerines, and export grapefruits.
