Videxport, S.A. de C.V., operating as Videxport, is a privately held company founded in 1975, in Hermosillo, Mexico by Gilberto Salazar Serrano, the father of current owner, Gilberto Salazar Escoboza. The company produces popular varieties of fruits and nuts, including seedless watermelons, seedless table grapes, and several hues of bell peppers during periods of the year when such items are not available locally in destination markets. The majority of Videxport products are distributed to the United States and Canada.
