Family-owned McCall Farms, based in Effingham, South Carolina, employs more than 1,000 people in its 900,000 sq ft manufacturing facility. Its major brands – distributed across retail and foodservice channels – are Glory Foods, Margaret Holmes, Bruce’s Yams and Peanut Patch.
Del Monte Pacific bought Sager Creek through its subsidiary Del Monte Foods for US$75m in 2015.
Sager Creek had a processing site in North Carolina but this was closed down by Del Monte last year.
Woody Swink, co-president at McCall Farms, said: “Leading brands like Allens fit perfectly with our heritage of making authentic, southern-style vegetables that can be served as a meal, side-dish or used as a key cooking ingredient.”
