THE STORY

Financing a transformative acquisition strategy

Vandemoortele is a leading European, sustainable company in bakery products and plant-based food solutions.

In 2024 and 2025, Vandemoortele announced several acquisitions, including Banneton in the US, Forno d’Azolo and Lizzi in Italy, Delifrance and Bunge’s European spreads and margarine business.

These acquisitions will transform Vandemoortele and make it a leading player in its chosen markets. Once consumed, these acquisitions will double the annual revenue.

Vandemoortele engaged Ernest as debt advisor in 2024 to work on the refinancing of the existing debt, enlarging the banking group and organize certainty of funds to commit to the Delifrance and Bunge acquisitions.
