Case Narrative

F&F Foods, Inc., a leading manufacturer of branded and private-label cough drops, mints and candies, executed an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors, allowing DSI to take over operations and effectuate a sale of the company.

DSI managed the day-to-day operations of the business for approximately 1½ years while marketing the company for sale. DSI continued and expanded the contract production of Hershey products which assisted in the overall synergy and operation of the plant. Additionally, DSI worked extensively with the FDA on compliance issues. DSI eventually was able to obtain a purchaser of the business that upon closing, paid the secured lender in full and preserved approximately 300 jobs.
