Bridge Finance Group (BFG), an equipment financing firm that partners with early-stage consumer packaged goods brands and general manufacturing companies, provided $25 million in financing for Kitchen Food Company (KFC), an Australian based ready-to-eat meal company. The financing will be used to scale operations and build out the company’s U.S. manufacturing presence.
“This partnership with Bridge Finance Group represents a pivotal moment in our journey, and we’re grateful Bridge believes in our mission,” Daniel Borenstein co-founder and CEO of KFC, said. “For over two decades, we’ve been dedicated to feeding families across Australia with nutritious, accessible ready meals that bring the warmth of home-cooked goodness to the table. This partnership enables us to share that same mission with American families while maintaining the quality standards and finest ingredients our customers have come to trust.”
Grant Christopher, president of BFG, said, “We are thrilled to support this expansion as Kitchen Food enters the U.S. market. With two decades of proven success internationally, a strong commitment to quality and a clear vision for growth, they possess all the attributes we look for in a partner. The ready meal category continues to grow as consumers seek convenient, nutritious options, and this company is well-positioned to capture that demand with their authentic approach to home-style cooking.”
