Nestlé cede per un miliardo a Yellow Wood Partners la divisione integratori

Nestlé has reached an agreement to sell its main vitamins, minerals, and supplement division, the "holistic health" portfolio, to Yellow Wood Partners for $1 billion (0.8 billion Swiss francs). Yellow Wood is a leading private equity firm in the consumer goods sector, which already owns brands such as Dr. Scholl's. The multinational company announced that the operation is expected to be completed in the first half of 2027.

Philipp Navratil, Nestlé's CEO, stated that this is another important step in the strategic transformation of the company's portfolio. They are prioritizing the allocation of resources where they have the greatest competitive advantage. With the strong innovation and development capabilities of Nestlé's brands, they are well-positioned to continue growing in the high-end segment of science-based dietary supplements, where brands like Solgar and Pure Encapsulations continue to show solid performance.

At the same time, the consumer health products category has evolved, and the mass-market health product business requires a different approach, guided by a dedicated owner.

The transaction includes seven brands: Nature's Bounty, Osteo Bi-Flex, Ester-C, Gard, Nuun, Puritan's Pride, and Sisu, as well as the U.S. activity for dietary supplements under the associated distributor, along with the dedicated production, packaging, storage, and distribution activities. In 2025, the business generated $1.2 billion in revenue and primarily operates in the United States, with a presence in numerous other countries, including Canada and China.
