Katjes International acquires UK healthy snacking brand Graze from Unilever

01 Dec 2025 12:00 CET

• Katjes International today signed an agreement to acquire the Graze brand
• Carve-out from Unilever including a production site in London
• Closing of the transaction expected in the first half of 2026

Düsseldorf, 1st December 2025 – Katjes International, through its subsidiary
Future Snacks Ltd., today signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in
Nature Delivered Ltd. (“Graze”) as well as the ‘Graze’ brand from Unilever. The
transaction is structured as a carve-out from Unilever and includes the full
brand and product portfolio, the transfer of around 200 employees, and a
production facility in London.

Since 2021, Graze has been certified as a B-Corp and is one of the leading
brands in the “healthy snacking” segment in the United Kingdom, with a strong
presence in local grocery retail. Candy Kittens and Graze share a high degree of
overlap in their customer base and distribution channels – the acquisition of
Graze therefore represents an ideal addition to Katjes International’s existing
brand portfolio.

“With Candy Kittens, we already have one of the fastest-growing confectionery
brands in the UK in our portfolio, and we are complementing this existing
business with the acquisition of Graze, one of the leading healthy snacking
brands in the UK. With its strong brand awareness and strategic positioning,
Graze is a perfect fit for our strategy to continue growing with strong consumer
brands across Europe,” said Bastian Fassin, Managing Shareholder of Katjes
International.

The completion of the transaction remains subject to the statutory employee
consultation process in the United Kingdom as well as customary closing
conditions and is expected to be finalized in the first half of 2026. The
acquisition will be financed through existing cash and an acquisition loan.
