NEWBERRY — In a significant move within the agricultural industry, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. has completed the acquisition of ISE America, Inc. and its affiliates for around $110 million. The purchase was made using available cash, marking a substantial investment in the egg production market.
The acquisition includes numerous valuable assets linked to ISE. These assets comprise commercial shell egg production and processing facilities capable of housing approximately 4.7 million laying hens. This number includes about 1 million cage-free hens and 1.2 million pullets ready for egg production. Additionally, Cal-Maine Foods has taken over feed mills, around 4,000 acres of land, inventories, and an egg products breaking facility.
The deal also provides Cal-Maine with a well-established customer distribution network across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. The company’s operational footprint will now extend into Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, and South Carolina. This geographic expansion is expected to open up new market opportunities and enable Cal-Maine to better serve a wider range of customers.
According to Sherman Miller, the president and CEO of Cal-Maine Foods, this acquisition is a major step for the company. “We are excited about the opportunity to significantly enhance our market reach in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states with the acquisition of these assets from ISE,” Miller stated. He emphasized that the increased production and distribution capabilities will allow Cal-Maine to engage with new customers and expand its capacity in regions that are largely unfamiliar to the company.
ASE America has been a respected player in the egg production business for years, and Miller expressed the company’s intention to respect ISE’s legacy. “We will continue to honor this important legacy as we build new connections and customer relationships,” he said.
Miller also expressed confidence in Cal-Maine’s ability to manage and drive value from their acquisitions. He warmly welcomed the dedicated team from ISE and outlined the shared commitment to integrate operations smoothly. “Working together, we have a unique opportunity to deliver greater value to both our customers and shareholders,” he noted.
As the integration process begins, local suppliers and farmers may feel the impact of this acquisition. With increased production capacity and an expanded distribution network, Cal-Maine Foods is likely to influence market dynamics in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions significantly.
The deal represents not only a growth opportunity for Cal-Maine but also potentially better supply and availability of eggs for consumers and businesses alike. Consumers can expect enhanced accessibility to a variety of egg products as Cal-Maine strengthens its presence in these new markets.
With this acquisition, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. reinforces its position as a major player in the egg industry while opening new doors for growth and customer connections. As a result, it heralds an exciting chapter for both the company and the regions it serves.
