Old World Provisions

What Old World Provisions does

Old World Provisions Inc. is a fourth-generation, family-owned specialty food processor headquartered in Troy, New York, manufacturing fresh and frozen meat products, frankfurters and sausages, poultry, authentic New York delicatessen items, baked goods, and chocolate-enrobed confections. The company operates four specialized facilities across New York and Massachusetts: a deli and slicing plant in Troy, NY; a frankfurters and specialty sausages plant in Randolph, MA; a baked goods and chocolate-enrobing facility in Schenectady, NY; and a corporate office in Saratoga Springs, NY. Production capabilities center on traditional cooking techniques — natural wood smoking, water kettle sous-vide, and chocolate enrobing — executed under USDA and FDA certification with SQF Level 2, Non-GMO Project Verified, USDA Organic, Halal, and Certified Angus Beef credentials.

The business serves two principal B2B segments — foodservice (restaurants, delis, hotels) and retail (grocery and specialty stores) — through direct sales relationships, supplemented by a full-spectrum private label and co-manufacturing service that handles product development, labeling, production, and packaging for external brands. The product portfolio spans proprietary sub-brands (Old World Classics, Old World Naturals, Old World Provisions Bakery, New York State National Brand) and acquired heritage brands including Feltman's of Coney Island (since 1867), Helmbold's (since 1913), and Pearl Meat Packing (since 1947). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; business is conducted through a dedicated sales channel ([email protected] and the vanity number "800 BRISKET").

In January 2026, Pacific General, a New York-based private equity firm specializing in consumer and industrial sectors, made a strategic investment in Old World Provisions alongside S Food Inc., a South Korean food manufacturer. The three-way partnership is positioned to fund product innovation, operational investment, Korean-inspired value-added offerings, and broader U.S. and select international distribution, extending the company's existing reach across North America, the Caribbean Islands, and the Middle East. No financial terms of the investment were disclosed.
