Cañon Potato Co. has been acquired by Woerner Holdings Inc. and Woerner subsidiary H.C. Schmieding Produce Co. will market and distribute potatoes from Cañon’s Center, Colo., facility.
In the deal, Woerner takes on the packing and storage facility of Cañon Potato, which announced its closure in 2013. That’s when co-owner and acting CEO David Tonso, along with sales veteran Matt Glowczewski, left to join the sales staff at RPE Inc.’s Monte Vista, Colo., office. At the time, Tonso announced plans to sell Cañon to MountainKing Potatoes.
