Southeastern Mills, the Rome, Ga., maker of Better Than Bouillon and Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce, has changed its name to Summit Hill Foods.

President Peter Hjort cited the need for a name that more closely aligns with the companys "ambitions and goals for the future" and global reach. The new name and brand identity for the fourth-generation family company is the result of a year-long effort.

The company operates six manufacturing facilities (in Rome, Ga.; New Iberia, La.; and Salt Lake City, Utah) and markets nationally distributed brands including Southeastern Mills, Shore Lunch and Better Than Gravy. Its food ingredients and complete mixes are available to food processors, restaurants, foodservice distributors and consumers.
