After founder Ron Zappe died in June 2010, President Rod Olson started sifting through e-mails that Zappe had exchanged five years earlier with interested buyers. Olson, who began his career in sales at the company’s outset in 1985, considered bids from public companies and a private equity firm before agreeing to sell to Hanover, Pa.-based Utz Quality Foods in January. Olson says Utz’s undisclosed offer best suited Zappe’s wishes for the future of the business.
