CEO and President Todd Blount attributes most of Blount’s recent growth to the way it was positioned at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Fall River-based company, which produces more than 900 products, including prepared soups and macaroni and cheese, for retail stores, restaurants and institutions throughout the country, filled consumers’ desire for high-quality prepared foods at a time when many restaurants were temporarily closed or operating at a reduced capacity.
“Probably the core element [to our growth] was having products available for the deli department at retail,” Blount said. “Many shelves were empty at the time. But we were fortunate enough to have a bunch of our items that were ready to go. That gave us the ability to grow quickly because we were basically filling a vacuum.”
