German organic firm Bohlsener Mühle gets new owners

Germany-based organic company Bohlsener Mühle has been acquired by MDS Holding for an undisclosed sum. In a joint statement, the companies said the deal will 'strategically combine the expertise" of both businesses. Bohlsener Mühle is expected to benefit from a "restructuring" of its product range and investments in efficiency, along with a 'clear positioning' in the retail sector. Just Food has asked for further details. Founded in 1979, Bohlsener Mühle produces muesli, snack breads, cookies and ready meals, with a team of 250 people. Volker Krause, Bohlsener Mühle's founder and long-time managing director, said: "With MDS Holding, we have found a partner who shares our values and with whom we can position Bohlsener Mühle for the future. 'This not only secures the future of the location ... but also the ecological orientation that we have stood for for decades.' For MDS Holding, the deal is aimed at 'expanding its portfolio with a credible, artisanal organic brand'. Krause is retiring from operational management due to age but he will continue to support the company as a consultant. MDS Holdings' Tillman Schulz and Ralf Koch will assume management roles in the future. 'Bohlsener Mühle has established a strong position in the organic market over decades. We want to preserve and further develop this foundation,' Koch added. "With our many years of experience in the food sector and a broad network, we want to expand our distribution channels, provide new impetus to the organic market, and strengthen our long-term competitiveness.' Bohlsener Mühle will continue to operate independently and join MDS Holdings' other companies, including HMF Food Production, Pro Dimi Healthcare and Merx Bellavie.

Greencore feels glow of warm UK weather

UK group Greencore has raised its profit forecast for the year after a 'strong" quarter helped by the weather and new contracts. Greencore said its revenue was 'particularly strong' in the 13 weeks to 27 June, the company's third quarter. Revenue increased 9.9% to £511.1m ($691.8m) supported by 'favourable summer weather' and 'new business wins". As a result, Greencore has upgraded its adjusted operating profit forecast for the full year to £118m-121m ($159m-$163m) from a projection of £114-117m. Greencore reported its volume growth was 'encouraging across most categories' in the third quarter, especially in sandwiches, sushi and ready meals. Overall manufactured volume grew 3.6% and underlying volume growth was 1.9%, ahead of the wider grocery market growth of 0.7%, the company added. The news comes as Greencore is awaiting UK competition clearance for its proposed £1.2bn ($1.63bn) acquisition of fellow UK convenience-food manufacturer Bakkavor Group. Greencore CEO Dalton Philips said: "The Greencore team has delivered another outstanding performance in Q3, with particularly strong volume momentum, aided by favourable summer weather and new business wins. 'As we enter our seasonally important Q4, our focus remains on maintaining momentum in our business. He added: 'We look forward to completing the value-creating acquisition of Bakkavor in early 2026, subject to regulatory approval, and will continue to update on progress in due course."
