“We’re pleased to announce that Reich Brothers has agreed to purchase the historic Oscar Mayer facility,” says Michael Mullen, senior vice president of corporate and government affairs at Kraft Heinz. “We want to thank Mayor Paul Soglin, Gov. Scott Walker and their teams for working closely with us, as they sought to redevelop this site. Oscar Mayer is a special brand, and remains an important and successful part of the Kraft Heinz portfolio. We will always be grateful to Madison and the dedicated employees whose work contributed to this brand’s wonderful history over the years.”

“This property is an integral part of Madison’s history, as well as the history of food manufacturing in the United States,” says Adam Reich, co-CEO of Reich Brothers Holdings. “We understand the importance of the facility and the impact that its closing has had on the area. We look forward to repositioning it for future use, taking into account the values, desires and needs of the community. We will work closely with local officials to achieve these goals.”
