Konzernumbau: Nestlé verkauft Vitamingeschäft an Finanzinvestor
Nestlé trennt sich für eine Milliarde Dollar von seinem Geschäft mit Vitaminen und Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln. Käufer ist der US-Finanzinvestor Yellow Wood.
Swiss food conglomerate Nestlé has sold its vitamins and dietary supplements business for a billion dollars to US financial investor Yellow Wood Partners, the companies announced on Tuesday. The division includes brands such as Nature's Bounty and Osteo Bi-Flex, as well as the US wholesale business for private label products, the two companies stated.
Nestlé CEO Philipp Navratil explained that the conglomerate wishes to concentrate its resources on areas with the greatest competitive advantage. The mass-market vitamin business required a different approach under a specialized owner. The transaction is set to be completed in the first half of 2027. For the Boston-based investment firm Yellow Wood, it marks the sixth acquisition of major consumer goods companies since 2019, including the purchase of lip balm brand ChapStick from Haleon last year.
