Dechert Advises Graham Partners on Acquisition of Tulkoff Food Products

Dechert advised Graham Partners (Graham), a private investment firm targeting advanced manufacturing companies, on the acquisition of Tulkoff Food Products (Tulkoff), a manufacturer of custom sauces, dips and dressings.

With over 100 years of experience in the sauce industry, Tulkoff is known for strong customer service and quality products. Graham anticipates upholding that legacy during its ownership.

Tulkoff’s flexible manufacturing approach caters to shorter-run and high-mix customers, giving it an edge over larger manufacturers.  Graham plans to position Tulkoff as a culinary-forward, value-add partner by investing in technical sales and R&D to develop custom solutions for high-growth foodservice chains, emerging CPG brands and industrial customers.

Graham Partners, experienced with family-owned businesses like Giraffe Foods, intends to leverage this expertise with Tulkoff.

The Dechert team that advised Graham Partners included corporate partners R. Jeffrey Legath and Stephanie L. Haas, along with associates Michael Balent, Lauren Soares and Christopher Mayer; global finance partner Alon M. Goldberger and associate Merinda Davis; real estate special counsel Francois Quintard-Morenas and associate Devyn Kurpis; tax partner Joshua Milgrim and associate Ishani Kundu; employee benefits and executive compensation partner Howard M. Klein and associate Michael J. Binko; and antitrust and competition counsel Beverly J. Ang.
