Mellano
Mellano & Company is a leading cut flower grower, shipper and wholesaler that started when Giovanni Mellano set up shop in 1925 as a wholesale distributor. Now in its third generation, Mellano & Company has been plowing ahead in floriculture ever since and is headquartered in its Los Angeles Flower Market location where Giovanni first began. The growing operation was relocated in 1970 to sunny San Diego County in the San Luis Rey Valley. Mellano & Company prides itself on its progressive ideas, many of which have been developed into industry-wide improvements in growing and logistics. Now with more than 80 years of experience in the industry and still plowing ahead, Mellano & Company attributes its success as a true family business to time honored tradition, extraordinary innovation and a whole lot of elbow grease.
