Wessanen and the shareholders of Little Lunch have signed an
agreement for the purchase of 100% of the business, subject to
agreement of the Bundeskartellamt (German Cartel Office).
Founded in 2014, Little Lunch has developed into
the market leader in the German market for organic soup. Over the
years, the range has grown and now also includes meal makers and
sauces. All products are 100% organic and are made without added
sugar, aromas, colourants or preservatives. The brand is widely
distributed across the German Grocery Market and is very successful
in the online channel.
Organic and vegetarian meals are a core category
for Wessanen and Germany as the biggest organic market in Europe is
of strategic importance.
Christophe Barnouin (CEO of
Wessanen): "We are happy with this fast growing and
strategic acquisition and look forward to welcoming the Little
Lunch team to our family of companies. Allos Hof-Manufaktur, our
German business, has successfully grown over the past years in the
Health Food and Grocery channels. We believe that the integration
of Little Lunch will gives us many opportunities in this important
country and across Europe.”
Daniel and Dennis Gibisch(Founders of
Little Lunch) commented: “We have built up Little Lunch
with a lot of love and passion and made it a success in Germany.
Among all possible partners we looked at we found the fit with
Wessanen the strongest. We are excited about the new opportunities
that will come out of working together with such a strong partner
at our side.”
