Borealis Foods Inc. (NASDAQ: BRLS) posted a 110% year-over-year revenue increase in its K-12 foodservice channel, citing rapid expansion into more than 20,000 schools across roughly 2,500 districts.
The company, which operates through 106 distributors in 40 states, has scaled its U.S. manufacturing platform to support the surge in demand. Founder and CEO Reza Soltanzadeh attributed the growth to the platform’s ability to handle increased production volume and higher manufacturing utilization.
Vice President of the K-12 division Amanda Bot highlighted the company’s focus on practical, versatile, and dependable products tailored to school nutrition programs. The offerings are designed to meet nutritional standards and can be integrated into soups, stir-fries, salads, bowls, and other menu items to enhance operational efficiency and variety.
Borealis Foods operates a production facility in Saluda, South Carolina, and supplies products through its subsidiary Palmetto Gourmet Foods. The company’s expansion aligns with the National School Lunch Program, which includes over 95,000 U.S. schools and institutions.
The growth comes ahead of the School Nutrition Association’s 2026 Annual National Conference, scheduled for Charlotte, North Carolina.
