Seviroli Foods, Inc., creator of artisan filled pasta and sauces and a frozen tortellini manufacturer, announced an asset purchase of D’Orazio Foods, Inc, also a purveyor of frozen Italian fare, such as shells, crepe manicotti, stuffed rigatoni and more.

The frozen pasta business is positioned for consolidation among manufacturers. The acquisition represents a key portion of Seviroli Foods’ strategic plan in expanding its market share. The D’Orazio organization will be folded into the Seviroli Foods organization, preserving the long-honored family traditions and cultures important to both companies. Both launched in the 1960s, the combination of these two venerable businesses will further increase the overall capacity to meet customers’ needs.
