Founder Wayne Wolf said: "Our partnership with Colorado Premium will facilitate additional investment in the Lewisburg, Tennessee facility, creating exciting opportunities for the team members who have helped our family build Old Hickory Smokehouse into the business it is today." Wolf added that his sons will continue with the business following the acquisition. The combined platform is expected to strengthen Colorado Premium’s position within the rapidly growing prepared proteins category, where foodservice operators and retailers are increasingly seeking high-quality, labour-saving protein solutions with consistent flavour and performance. Zack Henderson, chief revenue officer at Colorado Premium, said: "Old Hickory Smokehouse has built a strong reputation for quality in smoking and cooked proteins. When paired with Colorado Premium’s scale in traditional water-bath sous vide cooking and culinary capabilities, the result is a truly special platform in the protein sector.”
