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.

HISTORY OF HOFMANN SAUSAGE CO.

Established in 1879 by German immigrant Frank Hofmann, Hofmann Sausage Co. boasts a deep-rooted legacy in Syracuse, New York. For generations, they've produced premium hot dogs and a variety of other sausage offerings, with their beloved Snappy Grillers standing out as a favorite amongst Central New Yorkers.
