“We are grateful and excited to reacquire RMH Foods,” stated Jonathan Rocke, president and CEO of the new RMH Foods. “Our relationship with Smithfield over the past eight years was beneficial, but ultimately we believe we can be most successful for our customers and our ownership as an independent, innovative, family-led food company. We're convinced that making great food that is convenient and offers value is even more important to today's consumers, and we are committed to partnering with our customers to deliver relevant products that meet those needs.”
From the company's founding as a local custom processor through its evolution to a manufacturer of fully cooked foods the Rocke family has built a reputation for high-quality products and lasting customer and industry relationships. Today RMH Foods provides co-packed, private label and branded fully cooked refrigerated entrees to the retail market. The family said in a statement that under the new operational structure it looks forward to bringing the same focus of innovation and excellence to fully cooked foodservice and deli segments of the industry.
