The newswires lit up for us yesterday morning as we received the announcement that Schuman Cheese has acquired Trugman-Nash from Allied Dairy. The acquisition includes the ownership of Old Croc and exclusive United States distribution rights for renowned Organic Herd British Cheddar brands produced by the Organic Milk Suppliers Co-operative.
“Part of what made this acquisition so exciting was the remarkable growth of the Old Croc brand, thanks in large part to the excellent work of Allied Dairy,” Allison Schuman, Chief Revenue Officer, remarked. “We look forward to building on their success and appreciate them entrusting us with the brand's stewardship.”
Of the incredible Cheddar brands entering the portfolio, the highly regarded Old Croc brand is particularly noteworthy. Known for its bold flavor and aged Australian Cheddar, Old Croc has become a staple in American households. The brand’s collection of offerings includes:
Old Croc’s signature Cheddar is crafted from milk sourced exclusively from grass-fed cows, delivering a rich, natural flavor that cheese lovers will appreciate, a press release noted. The inclusion of this esteemed brand enhances Schuman’s already extensive portfolio of premium cheeses.
“We’re excited to bring these outstanding Trugman-Nash brands into the Schuman Cheese family,” said Ian Schuman, Import Business Manager. “This acquisition strengthens our position in the specialty cheese market by adding to our best-in-class portfolio of imported cheeses from exceptional partners all over the world.”
Schuman Cheese is also thrilled to become the exclusive U.S. distribution partner of Organic Herd, the producer of British Organic Dairy Co.™ Cheddar and Kingdom Organic aged Cheddar cheese. This partnership with organic dairy farmers aligns with Schuman Cheese’s focus on meeting growing consumer demand for superior products.
The acquisition allows Schuman to retain Trugman-Nash’s established retail presence, ensuring a seamless transition for customers and buyers. As a fourth-generation family-owned company, Schuman continues to evolve and innovate in the industry, delivering the highest quality products with a deep commitment to craftsmanship.
