Multiline foodservice equipment and supplies manufacturer CFS Brands acquired Mercer Culinary, a New York-based provider of commercial-grade cutlery, kitchen tools, bar supplies and apparel. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The integration process will be a gradual evolution that begins with taking the needed time to develop a deep understanding of the businesses, brands, and teams, and the companies’ respective strengths and opportunities. Mercer Culinary will continue to operate as a stand-alone entity within CFS Brands.
“Customers and suppliers will continue to interact with CFS Brands and Mercer Culinary as they have in the past,” per an email announcing the deal.
As a result of this deal, CFS portfolio includes 14 brands with products for use in the front of the house, back of the house, foodservice equipment, healthcare meal prep, delivery and hygiene.
