Regatta Tropicals Ltd.

Regatta Tropicals, Ltd. is a California wholesale fresh fruit corporation owned by Steve Matych and his wife Teresa Barnes-Matych. The fruit company was formed in 1992 and was an offshoot of another company Steve formed in 1983 called Coast-to-Coast Produce Inc. Regatta's main office is located in Grover Beach, California where we have a full-time staff of 10 employees. With operations on both the West and East Coasts, Regatta will employ up to 180 people during peak periods when repacking and restyling of the fruit products is necessary.

Regatta markets fruit for up to 20 California growers, farms 60 acres of black mission figs in Maricopa, Arizona, and imports fruit from Chile, Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, and Italy. The fruit is distributed to chain stores, food service companies, and wholesalers across the United States and Canada. In addition, Regatta has exported fruit over the years to Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Europe.
