LSDH has acquired 100% of Biscuiterie de Chambord following the retirement of the target company’s longtime director. The strategic rationale for the transaction is the continued diversification of LSDH’s portfolio into the artisanal and premium biscuit segment, a move that aligns with the group's long-term strategy of regional expansion. By integrating the biscuit maker, LSDH aims to leverage industrial and commercial synergies to consolidate and accelerate the development of the Chambord brand. The acquisition allows LSDH to tap into the high-margin "gastronomic products" niche while supporting local skills and production in its home region of Centre-Val de Loire. This deal follows LSDH’s recent large-scale acquisition of Bonduelle’s packaged-salad business, further demonstrating the group’s ambition to become a multi-category leader in the French food industry.

BISCUITERIE DE CHAMBORD, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2023, 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 (10.1x).
