Roland Foods Specialty Ingredients

Roland Foods is a prominent American importer of specialty foods from across the globe. Founded in New York City in 1934 by Bruno and Suzanne Scheidt, the brand began by importing dried mushrooms and has since grown to provide over 1,500 products including oils, vinegars, seafood, and vegetables.

The company does not typically manufacture its own products but instead sources high-quality ingredients from a vast network of suppliers across approximately 50 countries. This global sourcing model allows them to offer authentic flavors while maintaining a consistent brand presence in the United States and international markets.

Since 2013, Roland Foods has been a portfolio company of Vestar Capital Partners, a leading private equity firm. The brand continues to operate as a major player in the global specialty food industry, focusing on quality and global culinary expertise.
