The acquisition also includes private-label lines and manufacturing facilities in Holly Ridge, North Carolina and Weston, Oregon.
J & J president and CEO Gerald Shreiber said: “We are excited about this opportunity. This is a fine line of products that will expand our portfolio of brands to existing and new venues.”
The business, which generates sales at an annual rate of US$50m, is not expected to contribute to J & J’s operating income “in the short term”, the company said.
