Williams Sausage Co. employs approximately 500 team members and produces fresh and fully cooked sausage, bacon, and sandwiches for retail and foodservice customers.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, and the transaction is still subject to approval by U.S. regulators.

Williams Sausage, a second-generation processor of sausages in Union City, Tenn., announced earlier this year that it would break ground on a new, state-of-the-art facility in its hometown.
