Colorado Premium, a culinary-forward supplier of value-added proteins serving foodservice, retail, direct-to-consumer and industrial customers, has acquired Old Hickory Smokehouse, a founder-owned provider of premium smoked and cooked protein products. 

The acquisition expands Colorado Premium’s traditional sous vide cooked capabilities by adding naturally smoked proteins to its portfolio.

“Colorado Premium is thrilled to welcome Old Hickory Smokehouse into our family,” says Dan LaFleur, CEO of Colorado Premium. “Both Colorado Premium and Old Hickory Smokehouse share a proud heritage as family-founded companies built on craftsmanship, integrity, and a deep commitment to customers. This acquisition is a natural fit — not just strategically, but culturally. Together, we are exceptionally well-positioned to build on the strong foundations that both companies have established.”

“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,” said Wayne Wolf, founder of Old Hickory Smokehouse. “Together with my sons Wayne and Brandon, who will continue with the business, we look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
