News: Rotherham superfood producer acquired in £17m deal
A Rotherham-based producer of superfoods has been acquired in an international deal.
Go Superfoods Ltd. which is based in Dinnington and trades as Green Origins, Rainforest Foods and Puira, has been bought by Humble Group - a Swedish food-tech and FMCG-group, supplying the next generation of products that are good for people and the planet.
The purchase price amounts to approximately SEK 209.5 million (£16.9m).
G0 Superfoods was started in 2009 by Hardip Singh after completing an MBA when he chose the superfood sector due to personal interest, the growth potential, and the opportunity to work with producers from around the world.
A producer and supplier of premium organic and ecological superfood products, customers include specialist and nutrition retailers, distributors, food manufacturers and private consumers with approximately 80 per cent recurring revenues.
In 2018, the company won the Queen’s Award for International Trade for its outstanding overseas sales growth and 35% of the company’s sales pertain to exports.
Sales are expected to hit £20m for 2022.
