UNITED KINGDOM Food Processing / Ingredients EV £100–350M

Context

Nactarome Group agreed to acquire Claremont Ingredients Ltd. from THG Nutrition, a subsidiary of THG PLC, in a strategic bolt-on enhancing its United Kingdom operations and sports nutrition foothold. Transaction facts outline a full ownership transfer of the flavour specialist, aligning with Nactarome's aggressive M&A playbook of tuck-in acquisitions to broaden capabilities.
