Fit & Fresh

Providence Business News: Stories about the trials of eating healthy at work led MEDport, a Providence product development and design firm that also markets, distributes, warehouses and manufactures consumer health care products, to try to find a solution.
“People told us they like to take salads to work,” said Larry Wesson, president of MEDport, which employs 15 people in the United States and six in China, where its products are manufactured. “We wanted to address healthy eating on the go.”
The company developed Fit & Fresh, a new line of food storage containers with freezer packs built into the lids. Since the products hit retail shelves in January, the number of stores selling them has grown to 12,000 nationwide, making Fit & Fresh the fastest-growing product line in MEDport’s history, said Brian Carey, vice president of sales and marketing.
