Nestle said it has reached a deal with Advent International to
buy a majority stake in Brazilian chocolate company Grupo CRM for
an undisclosed sum, in a bid to bolster its confectionery presence
there.
The Swiss consumer-goods giant said the deal will allow it to
enter the high-end segment of the Brazilian market. Grupo CRM
operates more than 1,000 chocolate boutiques under the Kopenhagen
and Brasil Cacau brands and has a growing online presence, Nestle
said.
Renata Moraes Vichi will continue to lead Grupo CRM as chief
executive and will remain a minority shareholder, Nestle said.
Nestle said it wouldn't disclose financial details of the deal,
which is expected to be completed next year, subject to customary
regulatory approvals.
