McCain Foods acquires Scelta Products

McCain Foods has acquired Scelta Products, adding the Netherlands-based producer of frozen foods to its portfolio that represents an investment that will fuel McCain's growth and expansion in the frozen vegetable appetiser space.

Scelta Products marks the latest in a series of investments and acquisitions McCain has made in recent years to expand its appetiser and snacking offerings; some of these include Ad van Geloven, Strong Roots and Forno De Minas.

Max Koeune, chief executive of McCain Foods, said: "With common customers and shared values as family-owned companies, there is a natural complement between McCain Foods and Scelta Products.

"We feel honoured and privileged to build on the legacy of Scelta Products, bringing their delicious product to our customers as we expand on the fantastic business that Scelta's founders have created."

Scelta Products including onion rings, battered and breaded mushrooms and other vegetable appetisers will be integrated into McCain's product network, creating increased production capacity to accelerate global prepared growth throughout European and international markets.

Scelta Mushrooms, co-founder of Scelta Products and the international route to market for more than 20 years, will solely focus on its mushroom business going forward.

Jos Koster and Wilco Boone, co-founders of Scelta Products, added: "After more than a decade of building a successful business partnership, we are thrilled to officially become part of the McCain Foods family."
