Teasdale Foods acquires Mesa Foods

Teasdale Foods, a Dallas-based supplier of private label and branded beans, hominy, peppers, sauces, corn products and seasoning products, said it acquired Mesa Foods, Louisville, Ky. Founded in 1984, Mesa is a supplier of private label tortillas, flatbreads, taco shells, taco kits and chips.

With the acquisition of Mesa, Teasdale said it will be able to provide an entire suite of private label and branded Hispanic food products to a diverse customer base across a variety of channels, including retail, foodservice, restaurants and wholesale. Teasdale said it is primed for continued growth as consumers increasingly focus on Hispanic meals and natural and organic products, and retailers focus on increasing the presence of their store brand product offerings.

Mesa Foods will continue to operate as a division of Teasdale Foods with the existing management team continuing on with the business, the company said. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
