Tate & Lyle is acquiring CP Kelco (a division of J.M. Huber Corporation) for $1.8 billion, and Huber will become a long-term shareholder after the transaction is complete. While CP Kelco's portfolio is solely focused on a small number of product offerings, including pectins, citrus fibers, etc., Tale & Lyle's portfolio is broad, with a key focus on mouthfeel, fortification, and sweeteners. CP Kelco's focused portfolio will complement Tate & Lyle's broader product offering. Apart from food ingredients, CP Kelco also provides personal care ingredients in a limited capacity, but there is no indication of how that segment will be handled. As both businesses are complementary to each other, the acquisition is going to accelerate revenue, resulting in high-end growth and potential market dominance. https://lnkd.in/eT99wRBX

Just because there is rumoured interest in Mars acquiring Kellanova, is it now inevitable that someone (Mars or A.N.Other) will? The Grocer adds Mondelēz International and General Mills to the list of potential acquirers of the snacking company that owns Pringles (among other brands). When Warren Buffet helped Mars acquire Wrigley he said that “the best time to buy something is when it is available.” Those words have stuck with me and was how I justified stretching myself in order to buy my forever house. I would add to this advice though. “The best time to buy something is when it is available…and before someone else does.” If Kellanova is to be acquired I hope they have the choice of these three amazing potential partners. Exciting times ahead. #grocery #cpg #cpgindustry #fmcg #fmcgindustry #omnichannel #digitalcommerce #ecommerce #m&a

BRB Foods Upsizes IPO: A Brazilian Food Giant in the Making? 🍝 BRB Foods, a Brazilian company that makes dry food products, is ramping up its IPO. They’re now looking to raise $11 million by offering 2.5 million shares at $4 to $5 each. Originally, they planned to offer 2 million shares, so they’re increasing their goal by 25%. Pretty ambitious, right? BRB Foods is based in São Paulo and works with big brands like Unilever. They handle everything from getting and processing the ingredients to selling and packaging the food. They make stuff like pasta, rice, beans, corn, cassava, potato, and snacks. Some of their popular brands are Knorr, Arisco, Maizena, and Mãe Terra. The company started in 2020 and made $5 million in sales over the past year. They plan to list on the NYSE American under the symbol BRFO. Network 1 Financial Securities is managing the deal. I think this IPO could be interesting to watch. It seems like BRB Foods is really making moves! 🚀 #BRBfoods #IPO #FoodIndustry #NYSE #Investment #BrazilianBrands #FoodStocks #SãoPaulo #Finance #Unilever #MarketTrends Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dgZfXDQj

Having worked for several years in M&A within the professional services sector, I have always been interested in exploring how and why other industries engage in M&A. One sector, in particular, has caught my attention over the past few years: consumer products. In the services industry, one of the key strategic rationales for acquisitions is to fill capability gaps and offer end-to-end service offerings to clients. In the consumer product industry, growth-focused acquisitions follow a similar logic, involving the concept of categories and the key question of whether a portfolio of brands is positioned within high-growth categories that customers desire. If this is not the case, companies seek to fill category gaps by adding brands that respond to changing customer demand. A remarkable illustration of this strategic rationale is the recently announced acquisition of Britvic, a leading UK soft drink company, by Carlsberg. This acquisition creates a key player in both the beer and soft drink markets. Through this acquisition, Carlsberg gains a larger foothold in the complementary and high-growth soft drinks category, expecting to accelerate revenue growth and double its exposure to soft drinks. Besides revenue growth acceleration, a series of operational cost synergies (in procurement, supply chain, and overheads) are also expected. I believe that this is a transaction that really illustrates the ever changing competitive landscape of the beverage space. The type of transactions I would have liked to be involved in! I look forward to following how this deal accelerates Carlsberg's revenue growth as well as potential moves by competitors in the beer segment!

The rapid growth of the hydration drinks market, underscored by major acquisitions and product launches by industry giants like PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company, highlights a significant trend in consumer preference towards healthier (and functional) beverage options. This evolving landscape presents a compelling opportunity for middle-market entities within the food and beverage sector, signaling a promising avenue for investment and expansion. The anticipated market growth to $59 billion by 2032, coupled with the shift towards wellness and functionality, underscores the potential for strategic mergers and acquisitions, shaping future trends in the sector.   Greenwich Capital Group LLC anticipates a growing interest among middle market acquirers to procure these beverage brands, driven by the surging popularity and promising trajectory of the hydration beverage market, alongside the trend of increasingly health-conscious consumers. This shift signifies a broader industry trend towards wellness and functionality in consumer beverages, suggesting potential for further investments and acquisitions in the sector. #investmentbanking #mergersandacquisitions #foodandbeverage #healthandwellness
