Salyer American Fresh Foods markets products under the American Classic brand. The group will become a division of SK Foods.


“It’s a natural fit,” Salyer commented. “At SK Foods, we have a well-deserved reputation for processing and formulating top-of-the line fresh products for the country’s largest food manufacturers, retailers and foodservice organisations. The strength of the two entities will complement one another.”
