Mount Franklin Foods acquires assets of confectionery company Stuffed Puffs

Mount Franklin Foods, a manufacturer of high-quality branded, contract and private label confectionery, nuts, snacks and foodservice products, has announced the acquisition of assets from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based Stuffed Puffs.


The Stuffed Puffs brand is known for its innovative technology in producing high-quality marshmallow products filled with milk chocolate and other ingredients.


Founded by Michael Tierney, the brand has experienced substantial growth and recognition, bolstered by celebrity investors including Grammy-nominated artist Marshmello and his manager Moe Shalizi.


Enrique Grajeda, CEO of Mount Franklin Foods, said: "As we continue to evolve our business, the acquisition of Stuffed Puffs represents a significant step in broadening our confectionery portfolio. We are excited to combine our strengths with those of Stuffed Puffs to deliver even more value and innovation to our customers."


Tierney added: "We are thrilled to join the Mount Franklin Foods family. With a shared vision for the future of Stuffed Puffs, our strategic alignment with Mount Franklin Foods, along with its scale and resources, will significantly accelerate our growth trajectory and innovation pipeline."


Mount Franklin Foods serves both retail and foodservice industries, manufacturing a diverse range of high-quality candy, mint and nut products, including gummies, jellies, mints, fruit snacks and snack mixes under brands such as Azar Nut, Sunrise Confections and Hospitality Mints.


This acquisition aligns with the company's strategic goal to diversify and expand its product offerings.


The acquisition, effective immediately, was finalised for an undisclosed sum.
