Our client is a French food group which is backed by a major Private Equity fund and embarking on a new growth journey. Operating multiple factories, their products are sold via retail where it holds a leading market position, but it also has a growing presence in specialised distribution and export channels. Their objective is to become the pan-European leader in their field, leveraging a strong industrial base, a multi-channel approach, and a focus on both organic and acquisitive growth, with new subsidiaries being created throughout the continent.
The agenda targets mid-sized bolt-on acquisitions as well as transformative transactions across Europe with the end-goal of consolidating a fragmented market and further developing its portfolio and industrial capabilities.
