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.”


SK Foods’ senior executive Alan Huey has been appointed Salyer Foods COO and president.


“Salyer American Fresh Foods has valuable long-term customer relationships that are recognized regionally and nationally. The American Classic brand is expected to flourish as these relationships are enhanced by the direct association with SK Foods,” Huey said.
