MACEDON, NY. — Baldwin Richardson Foods has completed the acquisition of New Jersey-based Pennsauken Packing Co., LLC. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
By acquiring Pennsauken Packing Co., and its facility, Baldwin said it will grow its aseptic beverage manufacturing capabilities into new geographies and enhance its full-portfolio liquid products supplier to the food and beverage industry.
“At Baldwin Richardson Foods, we’re committed to finding new ways to exceed our customers’ expectations and today’s milestone supports that goal,” said Erin Tolefree, chief executive officer and president at Baldwin Richardson Foods. “Expanding our aseptic beverage manufacturing platform allows us to grow with our customers, helping them keep pace with consumer demand in a thriving category experiencing significant growth. We’re excited about what we can achieve in the future, bringing more to the table together.”
The facility features aseptic processing lines both high and low acid that are capable of producing beverages in sustainable packaging, according to the company.
Baldwin also will acquire Pennsauken’s customers, including blue chip brands in the retail consumer package goods category.
In February 2022, the company announced plans to invest $50 million to expand its manufacturing facilities in Wayne County, NY.
That project was aimed at upgrading equipment and technology and investing in construction projects at its facilities in Macedon and Williamson, NY.
In March 2023, Baldwin completed an asset acquisition from Aseptic Solutions USA Ventures, LLC, which expanded the company’s aseptic beverage manufacturing capabilities for shelf-stable, preservative-free products.
Baldwin Richardson Foods manufactures sauces, syrups, toppings and fillings as well as beverage products such as plant-based milk alternatives, fruit juices, flavored waters, concentrates and purees, teas, bar cocktail mixes, smoothies, coffee and creamers, in a variety of bottle, carton and pouch sizes.
