Power Sustainable Lios Acquires Crofter’s Organic

Power Sustainable Lios has completed the acquisition of Crofter’s Organic, a prominent manufacturer of organic fruit spreads, jams, and preserves, as part of its strategy to strengthen its presence in the organic food market. The deal, announced on January 22, 2026, did not disclose financial terms.

Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Ontario, Canada, Crofter’s Organic produces a diverse range of organic products for its namesake brand as well as private label and contract customers across North America. The company operates from a highly automated and sustainability-focused production facility, emphasizing its commitment to environmentally friendly practices.

Power Sustainable Lios, a private equity firm based in Canada, focuses on investments in sustainable and innovative companies. This acquisition aligns with its strategy to expand its portfolio in the organic food sector, which has seen increasing consumer demand for healthier and sustainable products.

Frontenac, the lead investor in Crofter’s Organic, played a crucial role in the company’s growth since its recapitalization in February 2021. Under the leadership of CEO Tim Jax and Chairman Chris Wilkins, Frontenac and Crofter’s expanded the brand’s market reach and enhanced its operational capabilities, including product innovation and development.

The acquisition is expected to create synergies through cross-selling opportunities in organic markets and the expansion of distribution channels for Crofter’s products. As the organic food market continues to grow, this acquisition positions Power Sustainable Lios to capitalize on emerging trends and consumer preferences. The integration of Crofter’s into Power Sustainable Lios’s operations will focus on enhancing product offerings and streamlining supply chain management.

Looking ahead, the combined entity aims to leverage Crofter’s brand equity and innovate new organic products while addressing potential integration challenges, including cultural alignment and retention of key talent. The acquisition is anticipated to increase Power Sustainable Lios’s market share in the organic food segment, further solidifying its competitive position.
