Bill Griffin, President of Fresh Frozen, stated, “Our family business has achieved great consumer awareness of our brand, our clear bags, and our “Quality You Can See…And Taste” tagline.  Fresh Frozen has established a very strong market position in the Southeast.  Inventure is well positioned to help us meet growing demand, increase our footprint into more doors beyond the region, and expand our product offerings to existing retail markets, food service distributors, and industrial customers.  I look forward to working together with the Inventure team to continue to grow our businesses.”

“This acquisition allows Inventure to add uniquely positioned frozen vegetables to our healthy/natural portfolio for the first time, while also expanding our IQF processing capabilities for fruits and vegetables in a new geographic region,” said Terry McDaniel, Chief Executive Officer of Inventure Foods, Inc.  “Fresh Frozen has reported 15% average annual revenue growth over the last 3 years.  Frozen vegetables are a $4.6 billion category and the Company continues to perform well in the category with a year-over-year increase of over 15% for the last 12 weeks, according to recent IRI data.  The unique location of Fresh Frozen’s processing facility in Thomasville, Georgia will provide year-round freezing operations, which increases our geographic footprint.  Additionally, both Fresh Frozen operations allow us to leverage our business and support future growth.”

Larry Polhill, Inventure Foods Chairman emeritus, concluded: “This transaction provides an exciting opportunity for Inventure to further expand its healthy/natural category of products, and supports the Company’s successful track record of creating shareholder value through organic growth and growth through acquisition.”
