2009

The renaming of the company "Blount Fine Foods" in 2009, and the acquisition of Neco Foods two years later, took Blount deeper into dips, spreads and wet salads; they confirmed that Blount's future lay more than ever in its ability to produce high quality prepared foods for a variety of customers.

Although the Fall River plant was greatly expanded and the clam processing operations were sold in 2011, the company still produces seafood soups on the Warren waterfront, a reminder of the New England roots of the increasingly national Blount Fine Foods.
