3I takes majority stake in PANELTO FOODS

IRELAND Food Processing / Food Products / Bakery / Pastry REV 50M - 100M EUR

Context

3i Group has announced that Panelto Foods, a premier Irish bakery group specializing in artisan breads, will join the European Bakery Group, establishing a dedicated UK and Ireland operational platform within the pan-European entity. The European Bakery Group was originally formed in May 2023 via the strategic combination of Dutch Bakery, a market-leading Dutch group focused on home bake-off bread and snack products, and coolback, a German-based bake-off bread specialist. Following this transaction, Panelto Foods, Dutch Bakery, and coolback will serve as the three core pillars driving the enlarged group’s cross-border operations. Backed by specialized financial and legal advisors, the transaction remains subject to customary regulatory clearances. The investment thesis centers on building an institutional-grade, highly diversified platform within the fragmented European private-label bake-off bread market. By integrating Panelto Foods, the European Bakery Group significantly expands its geographical footprint, broadens its pan-European customer base, and achieves a highly complementary product assortment. The post-closing strategic rationale focuses on leveraging the scale, capital resources, and manufacturing capabilities of the combined multi-site platform to deliver an innovative, sustainable, and premium product portfolio centered on natural ingredients.

PANELTO FOODS, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2022, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the AgriFood sector (10.9x).
