The sale transfers the assets of Wright Foods and Carolina Dairy to AmeriQual’s subsidiary.
Food technology leader Aseptia, Raleigh, N.C., completed the sale of its manufacturing operations Wright Foods and Carolina Dairy to a newly formed subsidiary of AmeriQual Group Holdings, Evansville, Ind.
The sale, which was finalized in late February, transfers the assets of Wright Foods, a state-of-the-art aseptic food processing company based in Troy, N.C., and Carolina Dairy, an aseptic yogurt packager headquartered in Biscoe, N.C., to AmeriQual’s subsidiary. As part of the transaction, the companies also formed a long-term licensing relationship for the use of Aseptia’s patented AseptiWave and AseptiSense technologies, which allow for the processing and validation of a wide range of aseptic foods with better sensory, nutrition retention and ingredient profiles while reducing or eliminating the need for cold storage.
