Frances Brunelle of Accelerated Manufacturing Brokers Featured in Food Quality & Safety Magazine

Frances Brunelle, President of Accelerated Manufacturing Brokers was recently featured in Food Quality & Safety magazine. Brunelle discussed how the FMSA (Food Safety Modernization Act) legislation accelerated M&A activity for small food manufacturers. Read the entire article here.

According to Brunelle, both small and large food manufacturers must comply with FSMA. However, more than 90 percent of U.S.-based food companies generate $2 million to $20 million in annual revenue and have fewer than 50 employees. Large food companies have both the financial resources and staffing to manage the complexities of FSMA. Smaller companies do not, and often find that being acquired by a larger enterprise is a more attractive option than facing the risks of non-compliance.

The remaining merger and acquisition activity within the food sector are those smaller food manufacturers that are weighed down in regulatory compliance. A 20-person salsa producer most likely has only one designated person to oversee QA/QC and safety, and often even operations. They lack the time and personnel to meet FSMA rules; yet, failure to comply is not an option.

There are options for small food manufacturers that are found to have FSMA compliance issues other than being acquired by a larger company. An infusion of capital by an investor can ensure that all the consequences of FSMA are adequately addressed and that the growth trajectory of the business is strong.
