Wessanen has acquired Danival, a leading producer of locally sourced organic products with deep roots in South West France.
July 21 2020 - 8:13AM
Wessanen and Hain Celestial have signed and closed an agreement
for the purchase of Danival.
Located in the South West of France, Danival is
a leading brand in organic products based on fruits and vegetables
sourced from France. It has promoted sustainable local
development since its creation 30 years ago. Today it employs about
120 local employees.
Danival also contributes to the local economy
and supports more than 30 farmers in the area through fair
partnerships and by complying with a Commercial Charter of
Solidarity. Furthermore, the company has been certified Sustainable
Organic Company (BioED®) for its commitment to sustainable
development.
Danival’s commitments are a perfect fit with
Wessanen’s purpose of “connecting to nature” and further proof of
our role as Europe’s first multinational B Corp food
business. Danival holds a leading position in French Health
Food Stores(HFS) and will be very complimentary to Wessanen’s
position in the channel.
Christophe Barnouin (CEO of
Wessanen): "We are very pleased to welcome Danival and its
teams to Wessanen. Danival will be a perfect fit with our family of
companies. The brand is a pioneer in the organic French market with
strong commitments: 100% organic, locally sourced, free from
flavours, food colourings and thickeners. It reinforces our
commitment to the French HFS channel and strengthens our position
in the Veggie Meals category with own production facilities and
local sourcing in South West France. Our ambition is to further
grow Danival’s business and leverage their sustainability
commitment across Wessanen.”
