The company will add to the basis of Tall Tree Foods Holdings Inc., a holding company led by Altamont's operating partner and CEO of Tall Tree Foods, Tim Bruer. January brings an attractive portfolio of high quality products to Tall Tree Foods, as well as additional diversity and geographic expansion. Tall Tree Foods says it will build upon the longstanding heritage and brand equity that Ding and his team have consistently provided its customers since inception.
