Food Partners Joins The Brothers International Team

Brothers International Food Holdings, LLC (“Brothers”) continues its rapid growth trajectory with its latest acquisition of Food Partners, a global fruit ingredient supplier specializing in best-in-class citrus supply, superior one-on-one customer service and seamless end-to-end logistics coordination. This move follows the acquisitions of Dennick FruitSource (“Dennick”) in 2021 and Hosh International LLC (“Hosh”) in 2023, and reinforces Brothers’ position as a comprehensive global sourcing network for its customers and suppliers. With Food Partners now part of its portfolio, Brothers advances its goal of building an expansive and reliable sourcing network capable of supporting the fruit-ingredient needs of food and beverage manufacturers across North America and Europe with fruits from leading growing regions in the world. 

Travis Betters, Founder and CEO of Brothers, will steer the combined business as he leads the Company into its next era of expansion. Webb Tanner will continue in his current role and as a minority owner in the Company, ensuring continuity and deep expertise throughout the transition. Both Brothers and Food Partners will continue to operate under their respective names and maintain their current operations in Rochester, NY and Winter Haven, FL respectively. With the backing of Brother’s shared services teams, Food Partners will operate with greater efficiency, reliability and operational capabilities.  

“We are thrilled to join Brothers at such a dynamic moment of growth” said Food Partners Founder and CEO, Webb Tanner. “Our teams share a commitment to quality, integrity and collaboration. Together we can unlock greater growth opportunities for our suppliers and greater value for our customers.” 

“This acquisition represents a bold next step in our evolution,” said Brothers Founder and CEO, Travis Betters. “Food Partners is the perfect complement to Brothers in both capability and culture. Their expertise in citrus deepens our sourcing power, amplifies our reach and strengthens our position as a leading global ingredients partner. Together, we are better positioned to deliver consistent, long-term value to our suppliers and customers.”
