USA: Schuman Cheese acquires Trugman-Nash

Cheese processor Schuman Cheese has announced the acquisition of the Trugman-Nash business from dairy firm Allied Dairy to expand its cheese portfolio.

The acquisition includes ownership of Old Croc, a US leader in Australian cheddar, and US distribution rights for Organic Herd British cheddar from the Organic Milk Suppliers Co-operative. Old Croc’s range includes cheddar chunks, bites, slices, and spreads, made with grass-fed cow’s milk.

Commenting on the acquisition, Schuman Cheese import business manager Ian Schuman said: “We’re excited to bring these outstanding Trugman-Nash brands into the Schuman Cheese family. This acquisition strengthens our position in the specialty cheese market by adding to our best-in-class portfolio of imported cheeses from exceptional partners all over the world”.

Schuman Cheese chief revenue officer Allison Schuman added: “Part of what made this acquisition so exciting was the remarkable growth of the Old Croc brand, thanks in large part to the excellent work of Allied Dairy Inc. We look forward to building on their success and appreciate them entrusting us with the brand’s stewardship”.
