Tyson Foods Inc. has reached an agreement to sell its pizza crust business to an affiliate of private equity firm Peak Rock Capital, the company announced. Terms were not disclosed; however, the two companies hope to complete the deal in September.
The sale includes TNT Crust, a business founded in 1981 that produces partially-baked and self-rising pizza crusts for frozen pizza manufacturers and foodservice customers. The more than 400 team members employed at two manufacturing facilities in Green Bay, Wisconsin, are expected to continue with the company under the new owner.
