Inc., Westport, CT, a manufacturer of edible coatings and specialty ingredients for a variety of industries, including food and confectionery, has acquired Holton Food Products Co., a LaGrange, IL-based supplier of food stabilizer and dry egg white products for the bakery and prepared food markets.
