NorSun's growth is being driven by expansion of the Home Meal Replacement category; increased outsourcing by large branded food companies; the introduction and early acceptance of NorSun's specialized food ingredients in restaurant and supermarket channels; healthy eating trends (NorSun's products are fat-free); and growth in the roasted/flame-broiled vegetable category.

In 1999, Sentinel Capital Partners and management acquired NorSun in a management buyout transaction. Sentinel sponsored the acquisition, arranged the debt and provided private equity financing.

In December 2005, after having owned the company for six years, Sentinel sold NorSun to Dickinson Frozen Foods, Inc., a leading provider of individually quick frozen onions and peppers to large industrial food processors and food service companies.">
