As part of its business, Hanover Foods owns factory outlet stores for its Hanover, Spring Glen, and Bickel's brands in Pennsylvania and an outlet store for its Aunt Kitty's canned vegetable and soup products in New Jersey. More recently, Hanover Foods has extended its reach to California, where it operates a tomato plant, to make its tomato paste more efficiently.
Geographic Reach
Hanover Foods maintains a headquarters office, canning plant, and frozen re-pack center in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Outside the state, the food firm operates a retail operation in New Jersey and a tomato plant in California.
Sales and Marketing
Hanover Foods serves several market segments. Besides the retail and foodservice sectors, the food company acts as a private labeler for other companies and caters to the fresh home-meal-replacement niche, as well as the military, club stores, and industrial venues.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Chasing after the popular snack foods niche, Hanover Foods acquired salty snacks maker Troyer Farms in 2010. It later merged Troyer into its Bickel's operations, adding the Troyer Farms, Dan-Dee, and Seyfert's brands to Hanover's snack lineup.
