Vestar is proud to announce that its portfolio company Simple Mills has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Flowers Foods.
Today, we’re excited to share that Simple Mills has entered into a definitive agreement to join?Flowers Foods & Subsidiaries. ? ? Simple Mills was built upon a simple yet powerful belief: food holds tremendous power to ignite meaningful change. Over the past 12 years, our incredibly talented team has transformed that belief into reality -- we reimagined beloved pantry staples with simple, wholesome ingredients and exceptional taste, introduced unique, nutrient-dense nut, seed, and vegetable flours to the snacking category, and partnered with farmers to implement regenerative practices and nurture our vision of a world where food creates a better tomorrow for people and planet.? ? With Flowers’ partnership, we are well positioned to take Simple Mills to new heights. Together, we will focus on broadening our distribution, accelerating our innovation, amplifying brand awareness to reach more consumers, and advancing our ambitious mission. Upon close of the transaction (expected later in Q1), Katlin and the Simple Mills team will be staying onboard, operating as an independent subsidiary and collaborating with Flowers to build upon our strong history of growth and break new ground.? ? Beyond the opportunities for our business, we are equally excited about this partnership because of the compatibility of our cultures, missions, and values. Like Simple Mills, Flowers’ culture centers on the value of its team, doing business the right way, and supporting its communities. Flowers’ company values – honesty & integrity, respect & inclusion, sustainability, passion, and humility – serve as the guiding principles for everything they do. And most importantly, they are equally invested in our mission to revolutionize the way food is made and are committed to maintaining our exceptional ingredient and product standards.??? ? This is an incredible milestone for our organization, and we’re thrilled about what this venture will mean for our team, for our customers, for our mission, and for our broader impact.?? ? Thank you for your support! https://lnkd.in/eqjd2fh9
