DELPHI, IND. — Indiana Packers Corp. (IPC), a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Corp., has reached an agreement to acquire Specialty Foods Group, L.L.C. (SFG). Financial terms were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Owensboro, Ky., SFG makes premium branded and private label processed meat products, including franks, hams, turkey, bacon, luncheon meats and delicatessen meats. The company’s products are sold under several brands, including Kentucky Legend, Field, Fischer’s, Artisan Crafted Series, Mickelberry’s, Kentucky Gold and Scott Pete.

“We’re looking for ways to grow our business, and adding SFG is strategically on-point,” said Russ Yearwood, president and chief operating officer of IPC. “They’re a company with successful brands, outstanding people and smart business strategies. This acquisition will improve our position in a very competitive global protein market.”
