| 12/2018 | MADEMOISELLE DESSERTS | DELICE DES 7 VALLEES | FRANCE | Bakery / Pastry | Just months after the acquisition of Michel Kremer, Mademoiselle Desserts completed another structural add-on by absorbing Les Delices des 7 Vallees from the private equity fund Sagard. The operation was financed through bank debt. This acquisition allows Mademoiselle Desserts to conquer the strategic "sweet snacking" segment (donuts, muffins) and significantly strengthen its presence in Mass Market Retail (GMS), a channel where the target excels. Sagard exited the capital after backing the company since 2015. |
