USA- Cooper Street Snacks announced the acquisition of Harvest Valley Bakery, a strategic move to enhance its production capabilities and meet rising consumer demand for healthier snack options.

The facility in La Salle, Illinois, will be rebranded as Cooper Street Bakery, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s growth trajectory.

This acquisition is part of Cooper Street’s broader vision to strengthen its operational foundation. By integrating Harvest Valley Bakery into its operations, Cooper Street aims to improve production efficiency while ensuring the highest food safety standards.

 The company stated, “This acquisition will bolster our production capabilities and enhance our ability to meet growing demand.”

Cooper Street’s commitment to modernising the newly acquired facility is evident in its plans to invest significantly in infrastructure and personnel.

The company intends to upgrade the existing production lines, introducing advanced baking technologies and processes to increase output without compromising quality.

“By investing in upgrading the Harvest Valley Bakery facility, we aim to modernize our production capabilities and improve efficiency,” a spokesperson for Cooper Street explained.

To facilitate this transition, Cooper Street has hired several industry experts with extensive experience in baking and manufacturing.
