Georgia based Southeastern Mills has acquired the original Louisiana brand hot sauce and related assets from Bruce Foods in New Iberia.
This new development will see the purchase of all of the brands and intellectual property related to the hot sauce business, including the manufacturing and warehouse facilities in New Iberia.
However, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Southeastern Mills president Linda Owens was quoted by North West Georgia News as saying: "This strategic acquisition adds yet another strong brand to the growing Southeastern Mills family.
"We're excited about this addition, as it strengthens our retail portfolio and gives us more products to sell to our Foodservice and Industrial customers."
The brands acquired by Southeastern Mills include Louisiana wing sauce, Red Rooster hot sauce, Louisiana Gold Pepper Sauce, Louisiana brand Tabasco Peppers in Vinegar, and Bruce's Tabasco Peppers in Vinegar.
As part of this deal, Southeastern Mills will retain the roughly 100 workers at the hot sauce plant and warehouse.
