Brothers International Food

What Brothers International Food does

Brothers International Food Holdings, LLC is a Rochester, New York-based importer, distributor, and supplier of packaged fruit ingredients founded in 2001 by the Betters Brothers. The company sources tropical and exotic fruit—including concentrates, purees, NFC (Not-From-Concentrate) juices, IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) products, oils, and essences—from growers and processors in over 30 countries and supplies them to every major food and beverage manufacturer in North America. It operates four ingredient divisions—Brothers Ingredients, Dennick FruitSource (acquired 2021, Tampa), Hosh International (acquired 2023, Fort Lauderdale), and Food Partners (acquired December 2025, Winter Haven)—plus a consumer division, Brothers All Natural, which sells branded and private label freeze-dried fruit snacks to retailers across the U.S. and Canada. The company holds the exclusive U.S. rights to the Magdalena River Mango through a partnership with CEA and maintains a broad portfolio of food safety and supply chain certifications (USDA Organic, Kosher, GFSI, FSSC 22000, HACCP, Halal, IFS, BRC, SGF, C-TPAT, Fair Trade, Demeter).

The business operates a dual-channel model. On the B2B side, Brothers runs an enterprise field-sales motion, quoting bulk ingredient transactions directly to CPG manufacturers and providing integrated sourcing, logistics, traceability, and regulatory compliance services; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is assumed to be quote-based on volume and specification. On the B2C side, Brothers All Natural distributes branded and private label freeze-dried fruit snacks through U.S. and Canadian retail channels, supported by social media influencer marketing as a top-of-funnel awareness lever. The company employs 120+ people across its divisions and operates offices in Rochester (HQ), Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and Winter Haven.

In April 2026, SK Capital Partners acquired a controlling stake from long-time sponsor Benford Capital Partners, with founder Travis Betters retaining significant ownership and continuing as President/CEO. The recapitalization positions Brothers for continued roll-up activity in the specialty fruit ingredients market, leveraging SK Capital's sector expertise and shared-services synergies across its four ingredient divisions.
