COUNTRYSIDE, IL — Sokol and Company announced today the completion of the acquisition of Borden(R) EggNog. Sokol acquired Borden(R) EggNog from The J. M. Smucker Company, who owned the brand for 3 years after obtaining it from Eagle Family Foods in 2007.
“We are very excited and pleased to complete the acquisition of Borden(R) EggNog,” said John S. Novak Jr., President of Sokol and Company. “We are committed to build upon the significant contributions of The J.M. Smucker Company. Additionally, this acquisition increases our celebrity in the baking aisle alongside the Baker(R), Simon Fisher(R), and Solo(R) brands, and because of the popularity of the EggNog flavor profile, we feel there is ample opportunity to grow year-round sales as well.”
Borden(R) EggNog is a pure, wholesome dairy beverage made with quality dairy ingredients including skimmed milk, cream and egg yolks for traditional flavor and velvety richness. Often thought of as a seasonal treat, Borden(R) EggNog is the only shelf stable eggnog on the market today, and has made eggnog available year round. Borden(R) EggNog needs no refrigeration until opened, making it perfect for both planned and unplanned moments and special get-togethers any time of year. Sokol and Company is proud to welcome Borden(R) EggNog, and continue to provide the taste and tradition that so many have grown to love.
