SAN ANTONIO — C.H. Guenther & Son LLC has acquired Fresca Mexican Foods, LLC, a Boise, Idaho-based maker of flour tortillas, corn tortillas and tortilla chips. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

C.H. Guenther said the acquisition expands its tortilla manufacturing capacity while deepening its relationship with foodservice and premier quick-service restaurant customers.

Established in 1977, Fresca makes homestyle flour tortillas, die-cut flour tortillas, corn tortillas and tortilla chips at its 190,000-square-foot facility in Caldwell, Idaho. The company’s tortillas are free of preservatives, artificial flavors or colors. Fresca makes about 5 million tortillas per day and employs approximately 375 full-time employees.

“I am very pleased to welcome Fresca to the CHG family,” said Rod Hepponstall, president and chief executive officer of C.H. Guenther. “The company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and strategic partnerships with some of the most prominent fast casual and QSR chains in North America are a great fit as we continue to execute our growth strategy. We share a commitment to quality, innovation and customer service, and I am confident the addition of Fresca’s talented team will strengthen CHG’s commitment to quality products and excellent service.”

C.H. Guenther & Son is owned by Pritzker Private Capital. The company has a global footprint, employs approximately 5,000 and has 30 manufacturing locations in the United States, Canada and Europe. The company manufactures value-added grain-based and frozen food products for foodservice and retail. Brands owned by the company include Pioneer, White Wings, Sun-Bird and Cuisine Adventures. The company’s roots date to 1851, when Carl H. Guenther built a flour mill near Fredericksburg, Texas. The business moved to San Antonio in 1859 and was renamed Pioneer Flour Mills in 1898. The original name was readopted in 1999. Following a period of rapid expansion in the 2000s, the business was acquired by a group led by Pritzker Private Capital (PPC) in partnership with co-investors and management in April 2018.

Phil Iler, principal at PPC, called the acquisition of Fresca “an excellent strategic fit” for C.H Guenther.

“CHG has built a terrific commercial baking platform and we’re delighted to continue our successful partnership together as the company explores complementary acquisition opportunities to add product capabilities and expand into new geographies,” Iler said.

Andy Savin, president of Fresca, said joining C.H. Guenther marks an exciting new chapter for the company.
