GulfStar Group has acquired Alpha Foods Co. by MBC Companies, a portfolio company of Entrepreneurial Equity Partners. Alpha, a privately held, family-owned frozen foods manufacturer based in Waller, Texas, was founded in 1984 by Greek immigrants George and Athena Sarandos. Alpha has grown from a regional foodservice distributor into a producer of frozen pizzas and pizza components for national accounts. Today, Alpha operates from a 115,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing and distribution facility serving customers including K-12 schools, grocery retailers and packaged foods brands. “My husband George was deeply committed to securing Alpha Foods’ legacy and the futures of those who helped us build the company over the past 41 years,” says Athena Sarandos, co-founder of Alpha Foods.
