US firm TreeHouse Foods Inc has completed an undisclosed deal for Minnesota-based dairy co-op Associated Milk Producers’ Aseptic Cheese brand and Pudding business.
Sam K Reed, TreeHouse’s chairman, president and chief executive said the acquisition would "expand relationships with strategic customers".
"Together with the acquisition of Naturally Fresh, we have added approximately $100 million of annualised sales in 2012 with products that greatly complement our existing portfolio," he added.
TreeHouse sells products to foodservice and retail customers and the new assets will be integrated into the company's existing Bay Valley Foods aseptic operation. The division also produces cheese and pudding products primarily for its Food Away From Home segment.
