Regarding the deal, Robert Young, CEO of Miami Beef, said:

We are thrilled to welcome Hofmann Sausage to the Miami Beef family. Hofmann has a meaningful heritage and deep connection to its loyal customers, employees, and community, which we plan to continue serving through investment in its facilities in Syracuse.

By the sounds of it, the manufacturing facility will not be moving from the Syracuse area. Employees will merely have a different name on their checks.
