The acquisition provides Orkla Snacks with production capacity to support
continued BUBS growth in the Nordic markets and to allow for faster expansion
into new European markets. Orkla Snacks plans to maintain CCI’s existing,
profitable business, while gradually increasing production of BUBS to serve
export markets with high demand.
CCI has been a supplier of selected BUBS confectionery products since 2025.
The company has four production facilities: three in the Netherlands and one
in Germany. The sellers are funds managed by Bencis Capital Partners and
management shareholders in CCI. In 2026, CCI is expected to generate revenues
of c. EUR 110 million and EBITDA (adj.) of c. 21 million.
“CCI is a natural strategic fit for Orkla Snacks. The company brings unique
expertise in the sugar confectionery market and a broad customer network
spanning several European countries. The proposed acquisition will strengthen
Orkla Snacks’ position in Europe and enable BUBS to expand its offering into
new markets”, says Ingvill T. Berg, CEO of Orkla Snacks.
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and, as required
under Dutch law, the advice of the works council. Closing is expected in 2026
towards the end of the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter.
