NKF advises Romer’s Holding on acquisition deal
Niederer Kraft Frey (NKF) advised Romer’s Holding, the parent company of Swiss frozen baked goods specialist Romer’s Hausbäckerei, on its acquisition of Kern & Sammet. The buyer is a group company of Idak Food Group.
The parties
Romer’s Hausbäckerei, the buyer’s subsidiary, employs more than 380 people between its Benken headquarter and the two production sites of Odeburg. The company collaborates with local and national distribution partners, serving hotels, restaurants, canteens, wholesalers, retail shops and supermarkets all across Switzerland.
Not differently from Romer’s Hausbäckerei, Swiss Kern & Sammet sommes specialises in the field of frozen bakery and pastry products. Their production site is based upon Zurich lake’s rive gauche.
