Solina, a leader in the global food industry specializing in savory food solutions, acquired US based Sokol Custom Food Ingredients, further expanding its presence in North America. This is on the heels of Solina's December 2024 acquisition of Advanced Food Systems, Inc. (AFS), as the company continues to take a leading role in the region's food industry.

Located in Countryside, Ill., Sokol supplies custom savory and sweet sauce solutions for the food manufacturing, retail, and foodservice channels. The acquisition will enhance Solina USA's sweet sauce capabilities, increase capacity and scale, further strengthen its resilient supply chain, and drive growth.

Sokol is located near Solina's Bolingbrook, Ill., site, continuing to build the company's central distribution point in the Midwest. This is Solina's fourth acquisition in the US, following Asenzya in 2021, Saratoga Food Specialties in 2022, and AFS in 2024. Solina will now have five sites in the US: California, Illinois (2), Nevada, and New Jersey.

Mark Duffy, Regional CEO, Solina North America, and Michael Marks will lead the integration process, and during this time, Sokol management will provide day-to-day leadership to their team.
