“Two brothers, Cliff and Howard Eisenberg, have built their business over the years by developing the highest quality products providing excellent customer service and building a terrific team,” said Douglas Atamian, CEO of Home Market Foods. “We will continue to honor this legacy and provide an even broader array of product offerings and innovation to their fine customers. Cliff, Howard and the rest of the Kelly Eisenberg team will continue their involvement in the business going forward to benefit our combined customer base.”

This acquisition provides Home Market Foods with an excellent combination of capabilities and values to form an even stronger and more dynamic product platform for us to offer our customers and consumers.”
