Metz Culinary Management Acquires Georgia On-Site Firm

DALLAS, Pa., Dec. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Metz Culinary Management, one of the top 20 management companies in the U.S. according to Food Management Magazine, has acquired commercial food service operator S&S Food Administrators of Macon, Ga. The acquisition includes 15 accounts in the healthcare industry and gives Metz a presence in the Southeastern United States.

"This is a perfect opportunity for Metz to continue to grow on the east coast," said Jeffrey C. Metz, President and CEO of Metz Culinary Management. "S&S has a great reputation in the Southeast and brings an expertise that makes us stronger. The Metz Culinary Management team will complement that with resources and industry knowledge that benefit both existing and future client partners. It's a great fit for everyone involved."

With 60 years of service experience, S&S holds accounts in Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama. S&S executives, led by Grant Bennett, Vice President of Operations, and all employees on the acquired accounts will join Metz's team to create a seamless transition. The companies adhere to similar philosophies of hospitality, quality and family-driven values, and both have seen steady growth throughout their existence.

Metz will look to grow its healthcare industry presence in the Southeast and expand its services into new sectors such as independent schools and higher education, where Metz has extensive experience in the Mid-Atlantic region. The move also gives Metz leverage in continuing to build business relationships in Florida and other states along the east coast.
