Highview Capital (Highview) has acquired Jobbers Meat Packing Co, doing business as WilMar, a protein processor specialising in ground beef solutions. Highview plans to merge WilMar with portfolio company Randall Foods (Randall), to create one of the leading protein providers in the US.
Randall Foods partners with grocery customers to provide all types of processed and value-added case-ready meats, including a variety of fresh prepared meals and marinated, ready-to-cook offerings. Since Highview acquired Randall in February 2021, the company has maintained its strong customer-centric culture while also scaling for further growth through expanding its exceptional management team and investing in capital expenditures.
WilMar is a leading processor and packager of premium meat products including ground beef, specialty and portion-controlled products. Founded in 1978, the company’s long-tenured customer relationships have fostered a flexible, responsive business model that enables it to process branded and private label ground beef for customers including grocery retailers, foodservice providers and wholesale distributors.
WilMar’s current President & COO, Willie Thielen, who oversees the company’s day-to-day operations, will continue his role of President of WilMar. All other members of the WilMar management team will also be continuing with the company in their current roles following the transaction.
