Established in 1989, Great American, whose senior management and sales force will join the newly combined company, offers a full line of hot and cold smoked fish products.
While acquisitions have traditionally not figured in New York-based Acme's four generations of steady growth, the purchase of Great American presents "exceptional opportunities" for Acme as well as Great American’s customer base of retailers, restaurants and hospitality organizations, Acme officials said Monday.
“We are thrilled to welcome Great American and its customers into the Acme family," said Eric Caslow, company president.
