About the owner: Seneca Foods
Seneca Foods is a publicly listed company headquartered in Fairport, United States, founded in 1949. Brandtree records 4 brands under its control, and it is listed as NASDAQ: SENEA.
Seneca Foods is a New York-based packaged fruit and vegetable company founded in 1949, with 27 main facilities across the United States. Most of what it sells is private label or sold to food service and industrial customers; only about 15% of its packaged foods are sold under its own or licensed brands. In fiscal 2026 it acquired the Green Giant U.S. frozen business, which took it into frozen vegetables. It also holds the Libby's vegetable brand under a trademark license from Libby's Brand Holding, Ltd., which is not an owner relationship, so Libby's is not listed here.
