Nestlé vende su división de vitaminas a Yellow Wood Partners por 862,6 millones

Swiss food giant Nestlé is selling its vitamins, minerals and supplements (VMS) division to Yellow Wood Partners for $1.00 billion (862.6 million euros). The transaction includes brands such as Nature's Bounty, Osteo Bi-Flex, Ester-C, Gard, Nuun, Puritan's Pride, and Sisu, as well as associated assets like white-label supplements in the United States and specific manufacturing, packaging, storage, and distribution operations.

Nestlé assured that the sale will be subject to relevant regulatory approvals, with an expected closure in the first half of 2027. This is another significant step in the strategic transformation of Nestlé's portfolio, as the company focuses resources on areas with a greater competitive advantage. Nestlé's CEO, Philipp Navratil, stated that the strong innovation and brand development capabilities of the company have positioned them well for growth in the premium science-based VMS segment, where brands like Solgar and Pure Encapsulations continue to perform strongly. Navratil noted that the remaining VMS requires a different approach and specialized direction.
