In connection with the operation, Food Brewer secured approximately CHF 10 million. Swiss multinational Lindt & Sprüngli led the capital round in question. Sparkalis, a distinctive foodtech investment fund holding a privileged relationship with Puratos Group, was also involved in support of the round.
