Stir Foods, a leading custom manufacturer of soups, sauces, dressings, and fresh salsas for retail, industrial, and foodservice customers, has acquired Lancaster Fine Foods, a private label and contract manufacturer of custom sauces, dressings, and condiments for retail, industrial and foodservice customers. Lancaster operates a 100,000-square-foot Safe Quality Food (“SQF”) manufacturing facility in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with the ability to expand into 200,000 square feet of total space.
The combination of Stir and Lancaster further expands Stir’s footprint on the East Coast with locations in Toronto, Canada, and now Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This combination solidifies Stir as a North American leader in custom sauces and dressings with extensive packaging capabilities and a deep bench of culinary talent. The resulting coast-to-coast manufacturing capability enhances Stir’s ability to support continued growth with existing and new customers. In addition, both companies share a similar culture centered on delivering the highest quality custom solutions for customers through new and innovative products.
