MANITOWOC (WLUK) -- A Manitowoc sausage company will have a new owner.

Lakeside Foods purchased Cher-Make Sausage Co. The deal is set to close Monday.

Cher-Make Sausage Co. is a 93-year-old authentic sausage maker, producing summer sausage, hot dogs, ring bologna and bratwurst at its Manitowoc-based plant.

“Cher-Make is a respected maker of premium sausage and meat products, with a long history in the Manitowoc community, and we’re honored to carry on the Cher-Make legacy,” said Joe Yanda, President and CEO of Lakeside Foods. “The acquisition will further diversify our product offerings for Lakeside customers and open up new avenues for business growth and product innovation.”

Under the deal, Cher-Make’s management team, including President Tom Chermak, will remain in place. Day-to-day operations will continue uninterrupted, and Lakeside plans to retain all Cher-Make employees at its Manitowoc location.
