2000's

During this decade, Seneca is committed to remaining an independent, publicly traded company and to meet the quality, service and cost expectations of our customers across America and around the world. With modern plants and a strong balance sheet, Seneca is well positioned to pursue strategic business opportunities and to continue our tradition of surviving and succeeding in a rapidly consolidating industry.

  • In August 2006, Seneca acquired 100% of the membership interests of Signature Fruit Company, LLC, based in Modesto, California. Signature Fruit Company is a leading processor of shelf stable fruit products, including peaches, pears, apricots, fruit cocktail, mixed fruit and fruit salad and nectars and concentrates. The acquisition will allow Seneca to add a full line of canned fruits to its product offerings.

  • In May 2003, Seneca completed the second largest acquisition in its history by acquiring 12 plants from Chiquita Brands, Inc. Included in the acquisition was a substantial private label retail, foodservice, export and branded business. The brands include Stokely’s®, Read®, Festal®, Tendersweet®, Walla Walla® and Diamond A®. Seneca subsequently spun off four plants to Lakeside Foods. This acquisition brought the total number of plant locations at Seneca to 25.

  • In 2000, Seneca Foods Corporation celebrated its Golden Anniversary marking our first 50 years of dedication to our consumers.

  • Acquired Agrilink’s Midwest private label canned vegetable business. This transaction also included the purchase of the Arlington, Minnesota facility.
