EM FOODS acquired by NEWPRINCES GROUP

Newlat Food has completed the acquisition of EM Foods and its manufacturing facility in Ludres from the German food company Dr. Oetker. This transaction marks Newlat's strategic entry into the baking mixes and dessert category, further diversifying its product offering. Crucially, the deal is underpinned by a significant long-term co-packing agreement with Unilever. Under this partnership, Newlat will become the exclusive supplier for a range of baking mixes under Unilever's iconic brands such as Carte d'Or, Mondamin, and Maizena. While Dr. Oetker retains ownership of the Alsa brand (transferring its production elsewhere), Newlat will utilize the remaining capacity at the Ludres plant to launch its own brand, Minuto, and expand its private label manufacturing for retailers across Europe.
