AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS — Flora Food Group BV, formerly known as the Upfield Group, has acquired a Hugoton, Kan.-based manufacturing facility, which closed earlier this year, for the manufacture of its plant-based creams and cream cheese products, according to the company. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
The company also has a facility in New Century, Kan., which manufactures its alternative butters and spreads products.
“With the acquisition of this new facility, we are thrilled to have a unique opportunity to expand our creams business,” said Jim Breach, president of Flora Food Group’s North American business. “Building on the existing, state-of-the-art infrastructure and trained workforce residing in the local community, we look forward to bringing more folks into the Flora Food Group family as well as continuing to produce our kitchen and pantry staple items here in America’s heartland and across our broader Americas region.”
