Hearthside Food Solutions has announced two major acquisitions that the company hopes will help it expand rapidly in the fastest-growing bar categories in the Americas and Europe.
Specifically, the company has acquired VSI, the largest European producer of nutrition, diet, and functional bars. And, in a separate deal, Hearthside has acquired a U.S. production facility in Boise, Idaho from a subsidiary of Post Holdings, Inc. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed, and both transactions are expected to close in September of 2015.
