The acquisition is said to strengthen Sunny Sky Products’ position in powdered dispensed beverages market
Sunny Sky Products has announced the acquisition of dispensed beverage manufacturer Amfotek. Amfotek is a developer and manufacturer of dispensed beverages, with specialisation in powder-based products, including hot chocolates, cappuccinos, smoothies, teas and lemonades. Amfotek serves a customer base across the foodservice and convenience store channels.
W. Ashley Edens, president and CEO of Sunny Sky Products, commented: “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. 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.”
Located in Tinley Park, Illinois, all of Amfotek’s manufacturing and daily business operations operate out of a 101,000 square foot facility. As part of the acquisition, Sunny Sky Products will acquire Amfotek’s manufacturing facility and equipment, and will continue operations in Tinley Park.
Ellen Jordan Reidy, president and founder of Amfotek, concluded: “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.”
