PUBLISHER'S PAGE: Prepared Foods and Food Group join BNP
Every weekday, our
PreparedFoods.com Daily Food News column reports on the endless
stream of mergers & acquisitions in the food industry. Now,
it's time for me to give you an update on our new family and parent--Business
News Publishing Company, or BNP for short.
Early this year, our
Food Group of publications and websites became part of BNP, a 75-year
old, family-owned publishing company headquartered in Troy, Michigan.
BNP was founded in Detroit in 1926 by Francis Cockrell, grandfather
of BNP's current president, Jim Henderson. Now with over 40 publications,
BNP becomes one of the larger business-to-business publishers based
in the United States.
