Miami Beef, a leading provider of fresh and frozen meat products, announced on Tuesday that it has acquired Hofmann Sausage, a historic sausage and hot dog brand based in Syracuse, New York.

Hofmann Sausage, founded in 1879, is the top-selling sausage and hot dog brand in the Central New York area. Its products include beef and pork franks, smoked sausage, bratwursts, beef jerky, and condiments.

Young also said that he was excited to add hot dogs and sausages to Miami Beef’s high-quality hamburger offerings, to give its customers the full grilling experience. He added that Miami Beef’s plan is to turbo-charge the growth of Hofmann’s footprint throughout the country and continue to look for complementary brands to acquire.
