NatureStar’s Cipolla said: “After 30 years building the Plocky’s snack brand, I began looking for a company that could not only continue the brand but expand it beyond the Midwest. I feel Hola Nola Foods is the ideal organisation to fulfil that goal.” 

Hola Nola Foods was founded by Kevin Holden and Rod Olson in 2013. The company manufactures tortillas, tortilla chips, salsas and popcorn.
