MAW Acquisitions LP, which is made up of former owners of Snyder’s-Lance, Inc., has acquired G&S Foods/Tastysnack Quality Foods, Inc., from owners Steve Garvick and Dale Spahr, working with Maryland-based SC&H Capital. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Established in York County, Pa., in 1996, G&S Foods, Inc. is a co-packer and private label manufacturer of salty snacks. In 1999, G&S Foods, Inc. purchased Tastysnack Quality Foods, which allowed G&S to add enrobing capabilities. Shortly after the acquisition the companies moved to a 110,000-square-foot facility in Abbottstown, which is strategically located close to the largest retail markets and at the heart of the snack food manufacturing industry.

The company makes pellet snacks, pita chips, snack mixes, popcorn, flavored pretzels, cheese products, extruded products and enrobed products. The company also has a range of packaging capabilities, including form and fill bags, pouch style bags, bulk boxes, pallet display units, shippers/floor displays, tubs and containers and barrels.

The companies said the existing infrastructure, including management and sales teams, will remain unchanged.
