NH Foods Ltd.’s U.S. subsidiary, Day-Lee Foods, has announced its agreement to acquire LJD Holdings Group, which includes LJD Holdings Inc., Mountain View Packaging LLC, and Tamarack Foods LLC.
Day-Lee Foods, known for its premium Asian-inspired entrées, single-serve meals, and appetizers, operates out of a processing facility in Southern California. Its national brands, Crazy Cuizine and Day-Lee Pride, are staples in the frozen foods market.
This acquisition aligns with NH Foods’ medium-term management plan, which focuses on expanding its global footprint, particularly in North America and ASEAN markets. The company aims to leverage its Japanese processing expertise to enhance international operations and increase production capacity. As part of this strategy, NH Foods is exploring the expansion of manufacturing facilities to accommodate growing demand.
By acquiring LJD Holdings Group, Day-Lee Foods will gain additional manufacturing capabilities in both eastern and western U.S. regions, complementing its existing facilities. LJD Holdings, with operations in Boise, Idaho, and Americus, Georgia, has an established relationship with Day-Lee Foods, making the acquisition a strategic fit to address the rising demand for frozen foods.
The agreement will see Day-Lee Foods acquire all equity interests in LJD Holdings Group. While the financial details remain undisclosed, the transaction is set to be finalized by March 31, 2025.
In a statement, NH Foods emphasized that this move is part of its “Vision 2030” management plan, aimed at evolving the company into a value-driven organization. This vision focuses on structural reforms, growth strategies, and cultural evolution over the next three years.
