Spell Capital-backed Core Home acquires Tochi Snacks

Core Home, the New York-based consumer products company backed by Spell Capital Partners, has acquired Tochi Snacks, with the acquisition closing in October 2026 and announced on November 10, 2026. Terms were not disclosed.

Tochi Snacks was founded in 2018 by Dina Shi, a former investment banker, together with siblings Ian and Marc Seah. The brand sells gourmet popcorn popped in coconut oil and salmon chips made from Norwegian salmon, in flavors such as Salted Egg, Black Sesame and Korean BBQ. It is sold through more than 200 wholesale accounts nationwide.

Tochi will remain a distinct brand under Core Home, keeping its existing product lines. Core Home said it will provide operational support and access to its retail relationships to help expand distribution. Core Home's head of food and beverage, new ventures, Diana Ark Chen, said the company looks for differentiated products, proven retail traction and strong fundamentals in better-for-you food and beverage brands.
