Ancient Harvest Acquires Gluten-Free Brand Pamela’s
Transaction unites leading gluten-free suppliers under common management
Quinoa Corporation, the parent company of leading plant-based foods brand Ancient Harvest, announced the acquisition of the Pamela’s brand in a transaction that joins two heritage gluten-free pioneers. The acquisition more than doubles the business under Quinoa Corporation’s management, strengthens its ability to expand its retail footprint, and combines the gluten-free formulation expertise and supplier networks of both brands to facilitate new product development.
The two brands have complementary gluten-free product lines with virtually no overlap. Ancient Harvest’s portfolio includes quinoa, pasta, hot cereal, polenta and other plant-based protein products made from gluten-free superfoods. Pamela’s offerings range from gluten-free baking mixes and baking ingredients such as pancake mix and paleo flours to pasta meals, ramen, snack bars, cookies and graham crackers.
