How the olive oil industry is becoming more sustainable. Is the California drought and climate change affecting olive oil production?. “We assume that frozen dishes with the brands of Buitoni pizza, Wagner pizza in Europe, as well as Stouffers and Hot Pockets in the USA, could be divested in the future, as growth and margins remain lower than the group level,” the firm stated. Nestlé will maintain its Buitoni pizza business in Europe but additional divestments in its prepared foods division may be on the horizon, Mainfirst predicts. "CEO, Mark Schneider, in our view, will shape Nestlé even more to exit low organic sales growth, low margin activities and invest in consumer health and medical nutrition (Nestlé Health Science), which have higher margins and growth rates." “We think that the move corresponds to Nestlé’s strategy to focus on higher growth, higher margin businesses,” commented Mainfirst. Future divestments?īuitoni generated sales of $130m in 2019, according to global investment banking firm, Mainfirst (a Stifel Company), which estimates the transaction price of the acquisition to be $115m. The private equity firm’s full $1bn portfolio includes 55 brands from 20 different corporate companies including Back to Nature, Lightlife, and Pillsbury. Since 2003, Brynwood Partners has acquired the Flipz, DeMet's Turtles, Treasures, Stixx, Juicy Juice, Bit O Honey, Nutrament, and Joseph's Gourmet Pasta brands from Nestlé. “This marks the eighth transaction we have completed with Nestlé, and we look forward to continuing our relationship," said Ian MacTaggart, President, CFO and COO of Brynwood Partners. Buitoni Food Company will continue to manufacture Nestlé Toll House cookie dough products from its Virginia facility under a long-term supply agreement. The transaction includes the rights to the Buitoni brand in the US, Canada, and the Caribbean territories. 
We look forward to innovating and growing the Buitoni brand as more consumers seek out high quality meals that can be easily prepared at home," said Henk Hartong III, chairman and CEO of Brynwood Partners.
“The Danville, Virginia, facility will enable us to quickly invest in new culinary and eating trends so that we can build on the strong foundation of current Buitoni offerings.
