LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Overhill Farms Inc. has been selected to produce a line of 16 private-label frozen meals for a major, undisclosed national retailer. The multi-year agreement is expected to generate initial annual sales in the range of $7 million, with the opportunity for increased volume over time. Full production is expected to begin in April of 2011.

Overhill Farms is already developing additional product lines for this customer.

"Throughout this difficult economy, our strategy for resuming significant revenue growth has been to attract new national accounts. This new customer relationship, and our new affiliation with Boston Market announced last week, are products of this sustained strategy. It is our hope that these accounts will join the ranks of our flagship customers such as Jenny Craig, Panda Restaurant Group and Safeway."
