Food group Vandemoortele raises 100m euros for expansion and acquisitions

Belgian food group Vandemoortele has secured 100 million euros to fund further expansion and strategic acquisitions, the company announced on Friday.

The financing was raised through a mezzanine facility – a form of subordinated loan – with participation from Flemish investment company PMV, investor Tikehau Capital, the Belgian Recovery Fund and the Belgian Resilience Fund.

“This package not only allows Vandemoortele to diversify its capital structure, but also provides the financial strength needed to pursue its growth strategy,” the group said in a press release. The company’s priorities include mergers and acquisitions in the consolidating bakery sector, as well as investments in expanding production capacity.
