Katjes International acquires UK healthy snacking brand Graze from Unilever

• Katjes International today signed an agreement to acquire the Graze brand
• Carve-out from Unilever including a production site in London
• Closing of the transaction expected in the first half of 2026

Düsseldorf, 1 ^st December 2025 – Katjes International, through its subsidiary Future Snacks Ltd., today signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Nature Delivered Ltd. (“Graze”) as well as the 'Graze' brand from Unilever. The transaction is structured as a carve-out from Unilever and includes the full brand and product portfolio, the transfer of around 200 employees, and a production facility in London.

Since 2021, Graze has been certified as a B-Corp and is one of the leading brands in the“healthy snacking” segment in the United Kingdom, with a strong presence in local grocery retail. Candy Kittens and Graze share a high degree of overlap in their customer base and distribution channels – the acquisition of Graze therefore represents an ideal addition to Katjes International's existing brand portfolio.

“With Candy Kittens, we already have one of the fastest-growing confectionery brands in the UK in our portfolio, and we are complementing this existing business with the acquisition of Graze, one of the leading healthy snacking brands in the UK. With its strong brand awareness and strategic positioning, Graze is a perfect fit for our strategy to continue growing with strong consumer brands across Europe,” said Bastian Fassin, Managing Shareholder of Katjes International.

The completion of the transaction remains subject to the statutory employee consultation process in the United Kingdom as well as customary closing conditions and is expected to be finalized in the first half of 2026. The acquisition will be financed through existing cash and an acquisition loan.
