Chef America Inc.

Chef America Inc. was the manufacturer of the popular microwavable snack Hot Pockets. 
Chef America is a former closely held corporation, which was formed in the late 1970s by two brothers, Paul and David Merage, of Colorado. 
Nestlé acquired the corporation in 2002 for the amount of $2.6 billion. Hot Pockets continued to be manufactured in Englewood, Colorado, Chef America's former headquarters, until 2013, when the corporate headquarters was merged with Nestlé's frozen food corporate office in Solon, Ohio. As of 2016, all Hot Pockets are now produced in Mount Sterling, Kentucky.
