New York-based Petri Baking Products manufactures and distributes a line of wire-cut private-label cookies, and employs around 240 staff. The business will operate as part of Ralcorp’s snacks, sauces & spreads division.
“We are pleased to complete this transaction, which complements Ralcorp’s cookie product offerings,” said Kevin Hunt, CEO and president of Ralcorp. “We welcome the Petri Baking Products management team and employees to the Ralcorp family.”
