Joseph’s, which employs more than 200 people and operates a 160,000 sq ft manufacturing facility, is a manufacturer and marketer of frozen stuffed pasta and sauces for the foodservice, retail and industrial segments.
It also provides private-label products and co-manufacturing services based on pasta-centric frozen foods.
Hendrik Hartong III, chairman and CEO of Brynwood, said: “We are very pleased with the outcome of this transaction. Under Brynwood VII’s ownership, we worked closely with management to transform Joseph’s from a business that primarily focused on providing high-quality, frozen stuffed pasta products, to one that provides a broad range of meal solutions including the expansion of the company’s product offerings into frozen meals and other meal kits.”
