Michael Angelo's Gourmet Foods, a Sovos Brands company

Sovos Brands is a new kind of food and beverage company with a mission to acquire and build one-of-a-kind brands. Sovos has the soul of a startup, the experience of an industry leader and the financial backing of Advent International. Sovos Brands has a one-of-a-kind approach to brands, business and people—in fact, the only thing that's old school about the company is the name, inspired by the old Latin term sovos, which means unique or one of a kind. This one-of-a- kind vision leads the company's focus on people and brands, working to ensure that both can really thrive. Sovos Brands represent real, delicious food for the way you live. We are founded on the principles of real, clean ingredients; breakthrough brands and products (Michael Angelo's, Rao's Homemade, noosa yoghurt); meeting today's lifestyle; and winning with customers. Find out more about Sovos Brands at Sovosbrands.com. Sovos Brands is led by CEO Todd Lachman, CFO Larry Bodner, and Chairman of the Board Bill Johnson. Together, we're building a team with extensive CPG experience—think H.J. Heinz, Mars, Del Monte Foods, Big Heart Pet Brands, Procter & Gamble—and a new vision for how people and brands can really thrive. Michael Angelo's Gourmet Foods, Inc., the first acquisition of Sovos Brands, is a founder-led specialty food business with an industry leading reputation built upon authentic products, brand, and fine ingredients. Michael Angelo's has a passion for premier quality and a unique talent for crafting authentic Italian prepared meals. The Brand offers a full line of frozen and fresh, all natural and organic, no preservative single and multi-serve packaged meals. Michael Angelo's has been in business for over 30 years and is distributed in all major retailers (conventional and natural), clubs and military throughout the US and Mexico.
