Importer Atalanta Corp. Acquires Specialty Mediterranean Foods Company Big Picture Foods
Specialty food importer Atalanta Corp. has acquired Big Picture Foods, a manufacturer of clean-ingredient, regenerative organic certified products, specializing in Mediterranean products like olives, peppers, and capers, an Atalanta release noted. Atalanta imports cheeses, charcuterie, deli meats, grocery products and seafood worldwide.
Big Picture Foods has carved out a niche in the natural and specialty foods industry by sourcing products responsibly for its refrigerated fresh and center-store retail fermented organic olives, peppers and capers. Its products will enhance Atalanta’s offerings in specialty Mediterranean foods in particular. Meanwhile, Big Picture products will gain distribution to a wider audience and new markets under Atalanta’s watch.
Big Picture Foods will maintain its independent identity, and its leadership team, post-acquisition, the release said. Atalanta Corp. is owned by Gellert Global Group and was founded in 1945. This deal is the second acquisition for Atalanta in 2024, including the addition of canned seafood and shelf-stable products importer J.A. Kirsch in January 2024.
