PENNSAUKEN, NJ — Bakery ingredients manufacturer Puratos is fortifying its US manufacturing footprint with its acquisition of Trevose, PA-based Vör Foods, a producer of high-performance nut and seed butters.
“The Vör team brings craftsmanship, agility and impressive speed,” said Andy Brimacombe, president of Puratos North America. “They’ve grown remarkably fast by staying close to customers and delivering on-trend nut solutions. Their expertise and US nut facility make them a strong strategic fit for Puratos, and enhance our ability to support customers with reliable, high-quality ingredients. We’re excited to welcome them to the team as we continue driving sweet goods innovation together.”
The Vör Foods portfolio consists of pistachio, hazelnut, almond, cashew, and blended nut butters and fillings. When paired with Puratos’ current line of nut fillings, the ingredient company is poised to continue supporting bakers with more locally sourced ingredients, helping them meet growing consumer demand for clean-label nut solutions.
“Since founding Vör Foods in 2016, we’ve focused on quality, agility, and close customer and supplier collaboration,” said Frank Steck, CEO of Vör Foods. “Joining Puratos opens an exciting new chapter. Together, we can bring even greater value to our customers by combining Vör’s nut expertise with Puratos’ scale, capabilities and industry network.”
Through this deal, Puratos will invest in equipment and capacity at Vör’s SQF-certified, dedicated nut facility, located 35 minutes away from the ingredient company’s US headquarters in Pennsauken, NJ.
