KENT Corporation expands global reach with Frosty Boy Global acquisition

In a significant move, KENT Corporation, a family-owned manufacturer and marketer of diverse food, beverage, and agriculture products, has announced the acquisition of Frosty Boy Global through its subsidiary KENT Precision Foods Group. This acquisition marks a major expansion for the Muscatine, Iowa-based KENT Corporation, as it extends its reach into the international market.

Frosty Boy Global, headquartered in Yatala, Gold Coast, Australia, is renowned for its wide range of desserts, beverages, savory ingredients, and wellness products. The addition of Frosty Boy to KENT Corporation’s portfolio not only diversifies its product offerings but also strengthens its position in the global food and beverage industry.

KENT Precision Foods Group, known for its expertise in dry and liquid-blending packaging, specializes in both rigid and flexible packaging solutions. Its consumer brands, such as Foothill Farms, Frostline, Wages, Orrington Farms, Southern Gourmet, Thick- It, Sqwincher, PKLfreeze, Milani, and other licensed products, have a strong market presence. This acquisition further enhances the group’s capabilities in delivering high-quality products across various sectors, including food service, industrial, and consumer products.

Mike Eversmeyer, President of KENT Precision Foods Group, expressed excitement about the merger, highlighting the synergies between the two companies. “Together, our brands and products help people create meaningful experiences and long-lasting memories,” Eversmeyer stated.

The acquisition significantly broadens KENT’s global footprint, allowing the corporation to better serve its customers worldwide. Frosty Boy’s manufacturing facilities in India and Australia, coupled with sales offices across Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Philippines, Australia, Turkey, Brazil, Dubai, and Thailand, present new opportunities for KENT to expand its international influence.

This strategic move by KENT Corporation not only signifies growth in the food and beverage industry but also demonstrates the company’s commitment to expanding its global presence and enhancing its service offerings to a diverse customer base. The acquisition is a key milestone in KENT’s journey towards becoming a leading player in the international market, further solidifying its reputation as a dynamic and forward-thinking corporation.
