NH Foods Ltd.’s U.S. subsidiary, Day-Lee Foods, has announced plans to acquire LJD Holdings Group, which includes LJD Holdings Inc., Mountain View Packaging LLC, and Tamarack Foods LLC.
Day-Lee Foods, recognised for its premium Asian-inspired entrées, single-serve meals, and appetisers, operates from a processing facility in Southern California. Its popular brands, Crazy Cuizine and Day-Lee Pride are key players in the frozen foods market.
The acquisition supports NH Foods’ medium-term management plan, focused on global expansion, particularly in North America and ASEAN regions. The company aims to leverage its Japanese processing expertise to boost international operations and increase production capacity, with plans to expand manufacturing facilities to meet growing demand.
Through this deal, Day-Lee Foods will gain additional manufacturing capabilities in both the eastern and western U.S., complementing its current facilities. LJD Holdings, which operates in Boise, Idaho, and Americus, Georgia, has an established partnership with Day-Lee Foods, making the acquisition a strategic step to meet the rising demand for frozen foods.
Under the agreement, Day-Lee Foods will acquire all equity in LJD Holdings Group. While financial terms remain confidential, the transaction is expected to close by March 31, 2025.
NH Foods highlighted that this move aligns with its “Vision 2030” management plan, which focuses on structural reforms, growth strategies, and fostering a value-driven organizational culture over the next three years.
