Land O'Frost's acquisition of Wellshire Farms: 'Well' on its way
The acquisition of Wellshire Farms by Land O’Frost has gone about as swimmingly as both sides could have expected one year into the integration — now, the unified team has its sights set on bigger and better opportunities.
When successful companies collide via acquisition or merger, sometimes egos, assumptions and stubborn experiences can derail the entire process. It happens in many industries and often leaves broken brands, employees and businesses in its wake.
What’s the secret to avoiding this fate? Take, for example, the acquisition of Swedesboro, N.J.-based Wellshire Farms by Munster, Ind.-based Land O’Frost — a deal that brought together two proven, family-owned businesses in April 2018.
