Emmi Group Enters Agreement to Acquire Mademoiselle Desserts

The Emmi Group has signed a put option agreement to acquire Mademoiselle Desserts, a leading French premium patisserie. This move supports Emmi's strategy to expand its market presence in premium desserts globally. Mademoiselle Desserts, with annual sales of EUR 420 million in 2023, operates twelve facilities across France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

This acquisition aims to integrate French-inspired desserts into Emmi's portfolio, blending them with its existing Italian, American, and Latin-inspired offerings. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and consultation with employee bodies. Didier Boudy, CEO of Mademoiselle Desserts, will lead the new Emmi "Desserts Powerhouse."

The deal, valued at around EUR 900 million, aligns with Emmi’s long-term growth strategy and portfolio transformation focused on profitable niches. If approved, this acquisition will increase the premium desserts segment to 17% of Emmi’s total sales.
