Bel Finalizes the Acquisition of All In Foods

After the fulfillment of all of the suspensive conditions, Bel announces today the finalization of the acquisition of 80% of All In Foods’ share capital, the founding family keeping the remaining 20%.

All In Foods develops a wide range of plant-based alternatives to cheese (available in slices, blocks, bloomy rind, grated, and spreads), as well as plant-based sauces coming from a recognized know-how on the market. The acquisition is in line with Bel’s strategy unveiled in 2015 aimed at expanding the company’s activities beyond cheese products to become a major player in the healthy snack market. Bel confirms its willingness to diversify its product offering through growth in dairy, fruit and plant-based products, three complementary food segments.
