Sunny Sky Products has acquired dispensed beverage manufacturer Amfotek, in a move to solidify its position in the powdered dispensed beverage market.
Amfotek specialises in the manufacture of powder-based products, including hot chocolates, cappuccinos, smoothies, teas and lemonades, which it supplies to customers across the foodservice and convenience store channels.
Under the terms of the agreement, Amfotek’s range of product will join Sunny Sky Products’ portfolio of frozen carbonated and uncarbonated beverages under brands including Jolly Rancher Slush and The Original Slushie Company, hot chocolate and cappuccinos, and its extensive line of beverage enhancers such as coffee syrups.
The deal also includes Amfotek’s 101,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Tinley Park, Illinois and its equipment, where operations will continue to run.
“Amfotek’s product line and customer base is a perfect complement to Sunny Sky’s. We already have a large customer base in powdered dispensed beverages, and this acquisition will solidify our leadership position in this space,” said Ashley Edens, president and CEO of Sunny Sky Products.
Edens added: “Amfotek’s manufacturing facility outside of Chicago will also give us added manufacturing flexibility and allow us to reduce transportation time to many of our customers.”
Sunny Sky Products currently serves customers across the US, Latin America and Asia.
Ellen Jordan Reidy, president and founder of Amfotek, said: “I’m elated by the union of our companies.
“The combination of these great, customer-centric teams with such synergistic values makes me jubilant for what the future holds for Sunny Sky Products.”
