Cuisine Solutions is a provider of high-end frozen entrees and sauces for the travel and hospitality industries.

In addition to its Alexandria plant, the company has two factories in France and a minority interest in a seafood facility in Chile. Last year, the company expanded into the Spanish market and increased the Alexandria plant's capacity by 60 percent.
