US food ingredients distributor, Batory Foods boosts capabilities with Sweetener Solutions acquisition
Batory Foods, a national distributor of food and ingredients in the U.S., has acquired Sweetener Solutions LLC, a Savannah, Georgia-based company specializing in custom sweetener formulation, precision blending and specialty portion packaging. The acquisition will allow Batory Foods to broaden its ingredient offerings and capabilities in the sweetener realm, aligning with key consumer trends in sugar reduction and replacement.
We are pleased to complete this acquisition, which will further expand our capabilities and ingredients portfolio to provide sugar reduction and replacement solutions to the market
Vince Pinneri
President of Batory Foods
Sweetener Solutions began operations in 2002 at the inception of the next-generation sweeteners replacement trend. Since that time, the company has emerged as a leader in custom formulation, blending and pre-blending of sweeteners and complementary dry ingredients for customers in industries including beverage, dairy, bakery and more.
Sweetener Solutions' expertise is in formulating precise and consistent blends and pre-blends, comprised of both conventional and natural high-intensity sweeteners, with a multitude of other dry ingredients through a proprietary process known as AccuBlend. They also specialize in the conversion of key ingredients from wet to dry, and offers a variety of portion-controlled packaging options to fit customers' requirements.
Batory Foods plans to expand on Sweetener Solutions' proprietary VeriSource service, a process that verifies that ingredients are absolutely accurate with respect to quality and concentration to meet the critical regulatory requirements for certain products.
“With specialized, technical expertise in non-nutritive high intensity sweeteners, Sweetener Solutions has proven itself to be a true leader in its field,” says Vince Pinneri, president, Batory Foods. “We are pleased to complete this acquisition, which will further expand our capabilities and ingredients portfolio to provide sugar reduction and replacement solutions to the market.”
“Becoming part of an organization like Batory Foods marks an exciting milestone for Sweetener Solutions,” says Mike Lasky, CEO of Sweetener Solutions. “This acquisition will allow us to leverage Batory's vast network of longtime customers and business relationships to accelerate growth and advance our position in the marketplace.”
Lasky will remain CEO of Sweetener Solutions following the transaction closing, along with many other key members of Sweetener Solutions who have also accepted positions within Batory Foods to ensure a smooth transition for both parties.
