Mario Olive + A.Camacho = Mario Camacho Foods

Two family-owned food businesses, both suppliers and service providers to the olive and condiment market in North America, will merge in 2008.

Mario Olive Co., a division of Westin Foods of Omaha, Neb., and A. Camacho Inc. of Plant City, a subsidiary of Angel Camacho group, will merge, a Mario Camacho press release said.

No financial terms were disclosed.

Effective January 1, 2008, the companies will begin operations under the name Mario Camacho Foods.

Angel Camacho Group is a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated olive business with more than 100 years of experience in fruit procurement to processing, and importing to distribution, the release said.
