2019 Frozen Foods Processor of the Year: B&G Foods makes giant-sized footprint in frozen food category
Take a tour of the 200,000-square-foot Yuma, Ariz., facility, which manufactures more than 30 SKUs of Green Giant brand frozen vegetables and vegetable-based meals.
B&G Foods has built a reputation for acquiring struggling brands, and nurturing them back to new levels of success. That’s why in 2015, when it acquired the Green Giant and Le Sueur frozen and shelf-stable vegetable businesses from Minneapolis-based General Mills, Inc., the Parsippany, N.J.-based company was in position to redefine the frozen vegetables category.
For example, from 1997-2018, B&G Foods completed 23 acquisitions and grew from $129 million in net sales to $1.7 billion. It employs over 2,500 employees nationwide, and produces 4,500 SKUs out of more than 100 manufacturing and co-manufacturing facilities, including a 200,000-square-foot Yuma, Ariz., plant. B&G Foods also claimed the No. 7 spot in Refrigerated & Frozen Foods’ 2019 Top 150 Frozen Foods Processors report. (CLICK HERE to learn more about B&G Foods).
