VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — Premium Brands Holdings Corp. is expanding its portfolio with three acquisitions.

The company disclosed on Dec. 30 that it has acquired NSP Quality Meats, Owasso, Okla., a processor of cooked and deli meats that has processing facilities in Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas; Casa Di Bertacchi, Vineland, NJ, a processor of cooked proteins; and Italia Salami, Guelph, Ont., a manufacturer of Italian salami.

“We are very pleased to welcome NSP, Casa and Italia into our ecosystem and to be partnering with the management teams of these well-known and long-established businesses,” said George Paleologou, president and chief executive officer of Premium Brands.

The total purchase price for the three businesses was $66 million, according to Premium Brands Holdings.

“NSP and Casa will play major roles in supporting the continued growth of our market-leading branded cooked protein initiatives in the US by providing much needed capacity and improving our access to additional key US markets,” Paleologou said. “In addition, these businesses will significantly enhance our Specialty Foods Group’s ability to largely mitigate any potential border and tariff related risks.”

He added that the Italia business is a smaller acquisition but provides Premium Brands’ existing Concord business with needed local production to help with its Marcangelo-branded Italian charcuterie offerings.

The company also disclosed the sale and leaseback of a recently expanded Hempler’s deli meats production facility in Washington, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $68 million.
