Under the Atalanta umbrella, Big Picture Foods will keep its independent brand and team. The deal provides Big Picture Foods with the “support needed to scale its impact, reach new markets, and continue delivering the high-quality, clean ingredient products”.

“We are thrilled to welcome Big Picture Foods to the Atalanta family,” said Tom Gellert, president of Atalanta.

“Their commitment to quality and sustainability perfectly complements our values, and we are excited to bring their exceptional products to even more consumers.”

Founded in 1945 and under the umbrella of Gellert Global Group, it primarily imports cheese, charcuterie, deli meats, grocery products and seafood.

The deal marks Atalanta’s second acquisition of 2024, following the addition of JA Kirsch earlier this year.

“We’re excited to join the Atalanta family,” said Daniela Jensen, co-founder of Big Picture Foods.

“This partnership allows us to remain true to our mission of creating clean ingredient foods that nourish people, support farmers and restore the planet, while gaining access to the extensive resources that Atalanta brings. Together, we will continue to innovate and transform our food system for the better.”
