Hola Nola Foods (www.holanolafoods.com) has acquired the assets of NatureStar Foods, makers of Plocky's (www.plockys.com) brand Hummus Chips and Tortilla Chips.

"We are excited about adding the Plocky's brand and products to our growing snack food lineup," said Kevin Holden, president of Hola Nola Foods. "Plocky's award winning Hummus Chips and Tortilla Chips, geographic footprint and customer relationships are a great fit and we look forward to continuing to expand this unique healthy snack brand."

Hola Nola Foods will maintain NatureStar Foods' Chicagoland area distribution facility to supply current and future customers throughout the Midwest.  Paul Cipolla will act as a consultant to Hola Nola Foods and maintain long term customer relationships.
