Why Us
We’re Built For A New Era
Sovos Brands transforms high potential brands into successful category leaders.
Consumers are shopping small and opting for artisanal, high-quality products. This desire for authenticity has led to enthusiasm for small, premium brands, which are now outpacing mass consumer packaged brands. In anticipation of this shift, Sovos Brands CEO Todd Lachman set out to build a portfolio that delights today’s consumers and unleashes next-level growth.
