Zertus Acquires British Snack Maker Sun Valley Nut Company

November 24, 2021: 12:00 AM EST
The German food group Zertus pushes into healthier snacking in the U.K. with the acquisition of Sun Valley from the Hacking family, who founded it in 1949. Zertus’ U.K. market presence includes free-from chocolate brand Nomo, kids' snacking brands The Fruit Factory and Forest of Hope, and a partnership with Diageo to produce Baileys Chocolates. Sun Valley's sales boomed during the pandemic, with revenue in 2020 up 13.9 percent to £45.5 million ($61 million). The increase in own label and retail sales made up for the "almost total" loss of pub sales.
