Framingham Food Co. Merges With Calif. Seafood Supplier
Ian's Natural Foods, a Framingham-based manufacturer of allergy-friendly and gluten-free products using sustainable food sources, has a new name after merging with, Blue Horizon Wild, a California seafood supplier.
The companies are now doing business under the name Elevation Brands LLC, and Ian's general manager, Chuck Marble, is the new company's CEO.
The merger was led by Renewal2, a social investment fund and majority shareholder of Blue Horizon. Claridge Group in Montreal, a minority shareholder in Blue Horizon, will hold a minority stake in Elevation Brands, Marble said.
Blue Horizon uses environmentally responsible fishing techniques and sourcing, according to its website.
Ian's Framingham facility, a 33,000-square-foot space containing a fry line, nitrogen tunnel and packaging equipment, will package Blue Horizon's seafood products.
"We've doubled our capacity in the facility in the past 12 months," Marble said. "This gives us volume for the facility."
Both Ian's and Blue Horizon are already sold in supermarkets across the country, and Ian's also sells in Canada.
