Hochland Group, the German parent of Fromagerie Henri Hutin, a major international player in the cheese industry with a cumulated business of over $1.7 billion, is making a broad foray into the U.S. market under the subsidiary of Bergland Cheese.
Three brands, Bergland, Almont, and Belletoile, will make their American debut by the end of 2014, says Sergiu Mititelu, CEO of Bergland Cheese USA.
“After consolidating years of business growth in Europe and in other export countries, the step into the U.S. [market] to contribute to the development of the cheese segment, and of the overall specialty food growth among U.S. consumers’ preferences, came almost naturally to us,” Mititelu adds.
