Industry Sectors
Ingredients, Nutraceuticals, Flavors and Fragrances
Highly regulated and often requiring near clean room-type facilities, ingredient manufacturing plays a key role in improving the taste, nutrition, and appearance of foods and nutraceuticals consumed globally by millions every day. While large transactions involving global brands by food and beverage giants are common and usually generate headlines, there is always quite a bit of M&A activity and opportunity further down the food chain (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun).
Ingredients and vitamins, minerals and supplements (“VMS”) companies are constantly jockeying to improve their market share, brand awareness, and geographic reach, and mergers and acquisitions are an important tool in helping achieve their goals. Strategic players view M&A as an opportunity to integrate along their supply chain, enter new markets or geographies, and access new technologies. Private equity buyers are attracted to the industry’s steady cash flows, strong margin profile, and the opportunity to build scalable businesses through roll-up strategies.
