Unilever NV (UN) on Tuesday said the company acquired the
holding company of U.K. healthy snacks brand graze.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
Carlyle Group LP (CG) bought graze in November 2012.
Graze, which started as a snack box delivery service in 2008,
now has its products available in retail stores, via e-commerce and
direct to the consumer.
"Accelerating our presence in healthy foods and out of home this
is an excellent strategic fit for the Unilever Food and Refreshment
business, and a wonderful addition to our stable of purpose driven
brands. We look forward to working with the graze team to grow the
business, leveraging their tech and e-commerce expertise for our
wider portfolio, and offering more consumers the opportunity to
snack in a healthier way," said Nitin Paranjpe, president of
Unilever's Food and Refreshment business.
