LINCOLN, NE – April 17, 2023 – Universal Pure LLC (“Universal Pure”), a portfolio company of Aurora Capital Partners, today announced it has entered into a purchase agreement to acquire all High Pressure Processing (HPP) assets of Texas Food Solutions. Details of the agreement were not disclosed.
Since its founding in 2014, Texas Food Solutions has served food and beverage manufacturers in southeast Texas and Louisiana, providing HPP and food innovation solutions. With the growing interest and demand for integrated HPP and cold chain solutions, Texas Food Solutions and Universal Pure can better serve the industry by joining resources.
“After watching HPP adoption and Universal Pure’s leadership across the industry for the past decade, this deal was a natural fit for Texas Food Solutions. We are pleased to be a part of their exciting future,” commented Texas Food Solutions CEO, Brad Wilson.
The agreement will strengthen the core HPP and cold chain solutions in the region. Already the largest independent provider of High Pressure Processing (HPP) services in North America, Universal Pure now operates 22 HPP machines across its seven locations.
“We are excited to continue growing to serve our customers. Since expanding our Texas operations in 2021 with the opening of our Arlington facility, the stage was set for more growth in the region. The addition of the Texas Food Solutions assets will provide more redundancy and capacity for our customers, and those seeking HPP and integrated solutions all under one roof,” says Universal Pure CEO, Jeff Williams.
In addition to HPP, Universal Pure continues to provide cold storage and value-added cold chain services to leading food and beverage manufacturers and brands across the US.
