Description
This established food manufacturer produces its own recognized line of products and also serves as a co-packer for several well-known brands. The facility is equipped with modern, automated systems that provide significant excess capacity, allowing production to scale—potentially doubling or more—within the existing footprint. Additional growth opportunities exist beyond simply increasing current product volume.
While the business experienced recent pressure from rising material and labor costs, operations have stabilized and profitability is improving in 2025 compared to 2024.
A skilled team, proven processes, and longstanding customer relationships are already in place. The business is priced near the value of its equipment, creating a compelling opportunity for an operator interested in making targeted investments to unlock further growth.
The seller is committed to a smooth transition and is willing to provide extensive training. They are also open to staying on in a long-term role under the right arrangement.
