BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barfresh Food Group, Inc. (OTCQB:BRFH), a manufacturer of frozen, ready-to-blend beverages is excited to announce that it has signed an agreement that secures additional production capacity ahead of expected dramatic sales growth in 2016 through nationally recognized accounts. Barfresh can ramp up to an incremental production capacity of 100 million units through Schulze and Burch’s subsidiary, Yarnell Operations, LLC. which is strategically located in Arkansas. Yarnell’s capacity is in addition to the company’s existing 14 million units of capacity through its contract manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The addition of Yarnell’s will enable the company to ramp up to in excess of $100 million of revenue. Also, Yarnell’s location enhances the company’s ability to efficiently move product through the supply chain to destinations in the eastern United States, home to many of the country’s large foodservice outlets.
Riccardo Delle Coste, the Company’s CEO stated, “We are thrilled about this important partnership with a leader in contract manufacturing. Their experience and resources are best in class and are perfect to support our expected rapid growth. This multi-year contract allows Barfresh the scalability to supply large national accounts currently in our pipeline. In addition, diversifying our manufacturing base brings added stability to our product sourcing, and reduces shipping time and costs, thereby increasing our margins.”

Barfresh’s product offering is truly unique and we are thrilled to work with them as they are on the cusp of significant growth,” stated Kevin Boyle, CEO and President of Schulze and Burch.
