An Illinois company has purchased Cedar Crest Ice Cream.
Hoffmann Family of Companies announced that they have purchased the multi-generational business, but did not give details of the sale.
As part of the transaction, Renato DePaolis, CEO of Oberweis Dairy, will assume leadership of Cedar Crest, bringing together two heritage brands with longstanding reputations for quality.
Ken Kohlwey, the President of Cedar Crest, said of the sale, “My brothers and I wouldn’t hand over the reins to just anyone. When we saw what the Hoffmann family has accomplished with Oberweis in such a short time, we knew we could trust them to continue to grow our beloved business as we enter the sweetest chapter in our lives: Retirement.”
HF Companies will continue to operate Cedar Crest and Oberweis as distinct brands under its broader portfolio.
