It all started in 1953, when Mr. Juan B. Stamos (Stamatópoulos), a young entrepreneur from Greece immigrated to Mexico and started cultivating eggplant in the most fertile regions of the state of Sinaloa. For many years Mr. Stamos dedicated himself to selling his products all over North America through different distributors in Nogales Arizona. In 1984 Mr. Stamos started his own company known today as Malena Produce Inc.
