In March this year, the foodservice manufacturer filed for reorganisation under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the District of Delaware in a move to implement its restructuring plan.
CTI Foods president and CEO Mike Buccheri said: “Through this process and with the support of our new sponsors, we have improved our capital structure and significantly reduced our debt.
“CTI Foods is now well positioned to build on our core business through increased investments in innovation, product development, and food safety.
“As always, we will continue to focus on CTI’s core mission of delivering exceptional custom foods and culinary solutions to drive our customers’ growth goals.”
