Aerosol Production Capabilities – Whipped Cream

Gay Lea Foods, a leading Canadian co-operative has retained Focus Acquisition Partners as their exclusive M&A advisor to identify and advise on an acquisition of a U.S. based food manufacturer with aerosol production capabilities for whipped cream products, either dairy or non-dairy.

Gay Lea’s desire to expand its presence in the United States market with dairy and nondairy whipped cream products has led to the strategic decision to acquire a US food manufacturing company with aerosol manufacturing capabilities. Acquisition opportunities with the following characteristics are of interest:

• Branded, private label or contract food manufacturers with capabilities to produce aerosol food products

• Dairy or nondairy whipped cream products

• Food service or retail customers

• Privately owned, private equity backed or corporate carveout

• $2-$15M EBITDA range

• Minimum 20,000 square foot aerosol manufacturing space

Gay Lea emphasizes a vision of sustainability in both rural and economically challenged urban locations with a history of being accommodative to sellers and honoring their legacy brands. Combining these factors with the company’s strong financial performance makes it an ideal acquirer and well positioned to pursue acquisition opportunities.
