Founded in 1992 by the Dumas family, the company sells its products under the Dumas brand and also supplies private-label products to large Canadian grocery chains and secondary food processors.

Following the deal, Marc Poulin, a former CEO of Canadian grocery chain Sobeys, has joined the company as executive chairman to support the existing management team.

He said: “I’m looking forward to working alongside the existing management team at Dumas to help support the different avenues of growth.
