Saputo has paid AmeriQual Group Holdings $118 million to acquire Carolina Aseptic and Carolina Dairy. The businesses will join Saputo’s Dairy Division under its U.S. sector. The transaction includes two facilities in North Carolina that employ a total of approximately 230 people.

Carolina Aseptic develops, manufactures, packages, and distributes aseptic shelf-stable food products and beverages out of a purpose-built facility in Troy, N.C., while Carolina Dairy manufactures, packages, and distributes refrigerated yogurt in spouted pouches in Biscoe, N.C. The acquisition of these businesses will better position Saputo to capture the growing demand for aseptic protein beverages and nutritional snacks.

“Complementing the organic growth initiatives outlined in our Global Strategic Plan (FY22-FY25), this investment aims to reinforce the strength of Saputo’s core business by increasing our capacity to manufacture and distribute products in the rapidly growing aseptic beverage and food categories, as well as the nutritional snacks space,” says Lino A. Saputo, Saputo chair of the board and chief executive officer.

Saputo produces, markets, and distributes a wide array of dairy products, including cheese, fluid milk, extended shelf-life milk and cream products, cultured products, and dairy ingredients. Saputo is one of the top 10 dairy processors in the world, a leading cheese manufacturer and fluid milk and cream processor in Canada, the top dairy processor in Australia, and the second-largest in Argentina. In the U.S., Saputo ranks among the top three cheese producers and is one of the largest producers of extended shelf-life and cultured dairy products. In the U.K., Saputo is the largest manufacturer of branded cheese and a top manufacturer of dairy spreads.
