We are delighted to Welcome the Super-Pufft USA team to the Shearers family!

Walid and I are very pleased to announce that Super-Pufft USA and Shearers have decided to combine our collective strengths and come together as a single company. Both companies share core values of outstanding product quality, consistent and reliable service to our customers, and a commitment to keeping our people safe and developing their talents. Super-Pufft is an outstanding low-cost manufacturer, and Shearers is excellent at systems, financial analysis, commercial operations and has access to the funds needed to continue to support growth investments at Super-Pufft. By leveraging our shared values and each other’s strengths, we will become a stronger combined company that is better situated to deliver consistent and accelerated growth in the future. We truly believe that this is a case where 1+1 equals 3.

We have been discussing the potential of coming together for over 2 years. In fact, in June of 2022 Shearers combined with Super-Pufft Canada, the sister company for your business. That combination has done exceptionally well because we adopted a strategy of "strategically aligned, but independently operated". We intend to take that same approach with your business and look forward to working closely with Walid and his team to support your business momentum and help make it even better. Walid will remain the President of Super-Pufft USA.

As background, Shearers is the leading manufacturer of Private Label and Contract Manufacture salty snacks, cookies, and crackers. Like Super-Pufft, it was originally a family-owned business that was founded almost 50 years ago and has now grown to 14 plants across North America and over 5000 team members, with our corporate headquarters in Massillon Ohio.

In the coming weeks you will have the chance to meet many members of our Shearers team and learn firsthand how we will work with you to invest in your business and support your growth. Should you have any questions, please reach out to Walid, me, or anyone from the Shearers team.

The Shearers team is excited to join you. By embracing our values of People, Grow, Impact, and Win, we will continue to provide great product quality, great service to our customers, and a great career for all our employees.

Sincerely

Bill
Walid
