Lancaster Colony Corp. has acquired Marshall Biscuit Company, Inc., a privately owned producer and marketer of frozen rolls and biscuits to retail and foodservice customers. The acquisition helps forward the company’s efforts to focus on its food operations, says Bruce Rosa, president of Lancaster Colony’s Specialty Foods Group. "This acquisition provides us access to private-label accounts, new products and additional manufacturing flexibility," he notes. "Marshall’s strength in the private-label channel nicely complements our Sister Schubert’s branded rolls. We remain interested in growing our specialty foods business through further good-fitting acquisitions such as Marshall Biscuit." Marshall’s net sales are over $11 million annually.
