Vinge advises Lantmännen in connection with its divestment of the Gooh ready-to-eat business

Lantmännen Cerealia has signed an agreement to divest its ready-to-eat business under the Gooh brand to Atria Sweden. The deal encompasses the entire business, as well as the Gooh brand. All staff currently working in the business area will be invited to join the transfer. The divestment means that Lantmännen Cerealia is focusing its operations on the grain value chain.

Gooh is a renowned brand with high market shares in a category that has seen an exciting development over the years. The business started on a small scale in the early 2000s, and has since then developed enormously. Today, Gooh serves about 5 million dishes annually through sales outlets throughout Sweden. The range consists of a mix of traditional Swedish home cooking, and flavors from other countries, such as Italian pasta dishes. The range has been developed continuously, but the foundation of chef-prepared meals with carefully selected ingredients remains. Production takes place in a commercial kitchen in Järna in Södermanland, south of Stockholm.

 

The transaction is planned to be carried out through transferring the business to a newly formed company, to which Atria Sweden will acquire all shares. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed later in the spring.

 

Vinge’s team consisted of Christina Kokko, Ulrich Ziche, Carl Sander and Clara Sohlberg (M&A), Johan Cederblad (Environment) and Eva Fredrikson (Commercial Agreements).
