Through a newly announced strategic deal, Saco Foods is welcoming two popular brands to its portfolio. Ancient Harvest and Pamela's have joined the company’s repertoire as a result of Saco’s recent acquisition of Quinoa Corporation and its brands.
"We are excited to welcome Ancient Harvest and Pamela's into our family of brands," said Tom Walzer, Chief Executive Officer of Saco Foods. "Broadening our offering with their quality products complements our existing portfolio and leverages our shared service platform to improve service and reinvest in innovation to drive the organic growth of these great legacy brands."
Ancient Harvest is a recognized brand in the value-added, plant-based space, with products including gluten-free pasta, polenta, and quinoa. Also joining the Saco Foods portfolio, Pamela's provides gluten-free baking mixes and baked goods including pancake mixes, snack bars, and flours, as well as gluten-free graham crackers and fruit-filled cookies.
As a press release noted, this acquisition adds two category- and industry-leading brands to the growing Saco portfolio that naturally align with the supplier’s commitment to excellence and providing high-quality food products to its customers and end consumers.
"I am excited to be joining the Saco platform, as it is a natural fit for our brands," said John Becker, former CEO of Quinoa Corporation and now President of Ancient Harvest and Pamela's. "With the support of Saco, we have a great opportunity to reinvigorate these brands and expand our distribution while maintaining the high-quality standards our customers and end consumers expect."
