SAN ANTONIO — Through its latest acquisition, C.H. Guenther & Son (CHG) is expanding its tortilla manufacturing and distribution capabilities.

The San Antonio-based commercial baking and food manufacturing company announced its purchase of Montreal-based Les Aliments Mejicano, a flour tortilla producer also known as Mejicano Foods. Terms for the deal were not disclosed.

“This is an exciting step forward for CHG as we invest in high-growth, high-demand categories,” said Rod Hepponstall, president and CEO of CHG. “Mejicano brings exceptional manufacturing capabilities, strong customer relationships and a reputation for quality that aligns perfectly with our values. Together, we are even better positioned to deliver innovative, premium products and services to our customers.”

As part of the deal, CHG will integrate Mejicano Foods’ strategically located manufacturing facilities, enhancing its supply chain dexterity and enabling wider support for both companies’ partners and customers.

“This acquisition is a reflection of CHG’s momentum as it scales its footprint in attractive categories,” said Phillip Iler, principal at PPC, the investment firm that owns CHG. “Mejicano’s capabilities and customer relationships are highly complementary to CHG’s core business, and we believe the combined platform is well-positioned for continued growth.”

The Mejicano Foods facilities join CHG’s 30 manufacturing facilities located across the US, Canada and Europe.
