Mueller Yurgae Associates (MYA) is excited to announce a major milestone in our continued growth: the acquisition of Alliance Foods Inc., a respected St. Louis–based food broker with a century-long legacy of service. The transition will officially take place on December 1, 2025.
A Legacy of Excellence Joins the MYA Family
Founded in 1925, Alliance Foods has spent 100 years supporting consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers and building strong, long-term partnerships with retailers. As a 100% employee-owned company, Alliance has been recognized for its client-first mindset and commitment to delivering exceptional results.
As part of this integration, all Alliance Foods employees will join the MYA team, providing expanded support to clients and retailers throughout the Great Lakes and Midwest regions. The St. Louis office will remain open and transition into a new MYA regional office.
Leadership Moving Forward
Sal Stazzone, President & CEO of Alliance Foods Inc., will continue in a leadership capacity as the two organizations come together.
“MYA is a premier organization distinguished by its exceptional leadership and culture. Alliance Foods is enthusiastic about joining MYA and contributing to the continued success and growth of the business,” said Stazzone.
All Alliance Foods employees, including Stazzone, will be retained by MYA as part of the transition. Jeff Yurgae, President of MYA, highlighted the shared values that make this partnership a natural fit:
“Alliance Foods’ century-long track record of client success and their dedicated team align seamlessly with MYA’s mission to grow brands and strengthen partnerships across our coverage area. We are excited to welcome Alliance employees and their clients into the MYA family.”
What This Means for Clients and Partners
This acquisition enhances MYA’s capabilities across both private brand and branded product portfolios. With broader category expertise and deeper retail connectivity, MYA will unlock new opportunities for clients by:
- Expanding access to new regions and markets
- Strengthening relationships with major retail chains and regional customers
- Building strategic programs that drive long-term sales growth
We look forward to beginning this next chapter with Alliance Foods and continuing our commitment to helping brands succeed across the Midwest.
