Mizkan America, Inc., announced that it has acquired Chicago-based Zing Zang for an undisclosed sum. Zing Zang's portfolio includes a wide range of popular non-alcoholic drink mixes.

This acquisition will contribute significantly to Mizkan's growth and expand its presence in the cocktail-mixers' category, a key growth engine for the company. Also, as one of the leading pasta-sauce manufacturers in the United States, Mizkan will leverage its unique expertise in tomato-based foods to spur growth and innovation across the two organizations. This move also serves as a significant step in expanding Mizkan's position in what the company refers to internally as "Inspired Mixology."

"Inspired Mixology" defines Mizkan's desire to bring together the company's deep bench of expertise, insights and creativity, combined with the company's leading brands, to reimagine the cocktail/mocktail experience—at home, the bar and beyond—to help consumers and professional mixologists alike create fun, flavorful and on-trend libations.

Zing Zang offerings play across a broad spectrum of mixers. Its lineup of premium, bold-tasting products at an affordable price point is also aligned with the current trends in the category. Zing Zang products are made with real fruit and vegetable juices and natural sweeteners. The company's full portfolio of award-winning products is available at zingzang.com.

For the foreseeable future, Zing Zang, LLC will continue to operate as a separate business from Mizkan America.
