Trillium Foods, a premier liquid food and beverage company focused on manufacturing and innovation, announced its official launch. The family-owned, privately held company is a scale North American platform with diverse product capabilities across dressings, sauces, mayonnaises, syrups, and beverage mixes for application in foodservice, retail, and food processing channels. It is majority owned by the company and backed by an investment from its private credit group. Both companies will partner with Trillium’s management team, led by CEO Ash Reddy, to expand the company’s capabilities and market position.
Founded in 2017 as Flavour Reddy Foods by foodservice industry veteran Ram Reddy, the business has grown rapidly, driven by key partnerships with long-term strategic customers, deep expertise in culinary innovation, and a proven track record of high-touch service and execution. The company has made three transformative acquisitions to drive growth and support its customer base, including: In 2023, acquired Cincinnati, Ohio-based Dominion Liquid Technologies, which specialises in the production of liquid food and beverage products including syrups, beverage mixes, and sauces. In 2024, acquired Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based, specialty-condiment manufacturer Lancaster Fine Foods as a carve-out from its previous owner. In 2025, acquired Brundidge, Alabama-based Southern Classic Food Group, a premier manufacturer of branded mayonnaise, dressings, sauces, and syrups.
Bringing together these four businesses and manufacturing facilities have brought a diversified combination of talent, high quality existing customer relationships, increased manufacturing capabilities, and capacity across both savoury and sweet liquid categories. It has a team of approximately 500 employees and a manufacturing footprint exceeding 500,000 square feet. The company’s facility network can produce over 1 billion pounds of finished goods annually, with capacity to service existing and new customers.
“We are thrilled to announce the launch of Trillium Foods with the main purpose of helping our customers win through our innovation and execution capabilities. I am grateful for the support of our customers, employees, investors, and partners. Trillium will be a significant force in the industry, and we look forward to accomplishing great things as a unified company,” said Ram.
“Our team is committed and completely aligned with our mission of delivering greater value for our customers, and we are excited about the opportunities this combination presents. Bain Capital shares our long-term vision and collaborative approach to the partnership. I’m confident that by joining forces, we will execute on the aggressive growth agenda in front of us,” added Ash.
June Huang, managing director at Bain Capital, said, “Ram and Ash have built an incredible business which has earned them the long-term trust of their customers to continually innovate and deliver on market-leading food and beverage products. Bain Capital has a long history of supporting founder-owned businesses and we are thrilled to partner with the Trillium team on their next stage of growth.”
“Through our extensive experience investing in the food and beverage space, Trillium clearly stood out as a high-quality business with scale and product differentiation. We are pleased to provide a one-stop financing solution tailored to Trillium’s growth needs and look forward to a collaborative partnership with the Reddy family,” concluded Megan McKenzie vice president at Bain Capital.
