"Our Casual Gourmet sausages have been a popular item," said Eric C. Eddings, president and CEO of Monterey Gourmet Foods. "However, the increasing production costs at our volume level have resulted in losses for years. We are excited we -- along with Aidells Sausage -- were able to construct an innovative solution. In this win-win situation, Aidells can leverage its production facilities and benefit from the brand equity we built, and Monterey Gourmet Foods can earn license fees and focus on core business prospects in pastas. This agreement is part of a series of strategic initiatives aimed at leveraging our core competencies to take advantage of our strong brands, exceed customer expectations and provide value to our shareholders."
