Swiss food giant Nestle will sell its mainstream vitamins, minerals and supplements business to US private equity firm Yellow Wood Partners for $1 billion (\u00a3740 million).<\/p>\n
Nestle said the transaction would allow it to focus resources on areas where it has the “strongest competitive advantage”.<\/p>\n
CEO Philipp Navratil in the statement called it “another important step in the strategic transformation of our portfolio”.<\/p>\n
The sale covers Nestle’s consumer-focused vitamins, minerals and supplements activities, including seven brands: Nature\u2019s Bounty, Osteo Bi-Flex, Ester-C, Gard, Nuun, Puritan\u2019s Pride and Sisu.<\/p>\n
The sale also covers the company\u2019s US private-label supplements business and related manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and distribution operations.<\/p>\n
The group said it remained well positioned in the premium segment of the category, but the mainstream business “requires a different approach under dedicated ownership”.<\/p>\n
Subject to regulatory approval, the sale is expected to be completed by the first half of 2027, the statement said.<\/p>\n
In 2025, the supplements business generated sales of $1.2 billion.<\/p>\n
It operates mainly in the United States, with a presence in other countries including Canada and China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Swiss food giant Nestle will sell its mainstream vitamins, minerals and supplements business to US private equity firm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[126],"tags":[3343,199,9899,33750,60615],"class_list":["post-124573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nestle","tag-mergers-and-acquisitions","tag-nestle","tag-private-equity-firm","tag-supplements","tag-yellow-wood-partners"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/117202771099945382","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
