Acon Investments, L.L.C., and its affiliates has acquired a controlling stake in YumEarth, a fast-growing organic confectionery brand known for its allergy-friendly candy with clean, simple ingredients. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The transaction marks the first investment of the Acon Evolution Fund, which is led by its next generation of leadership, Anjali Jolly and Suma Kulkarni. The fund focuses on value-oriented investment opportunities across the consumer and industrial sectors while providing investors with access to a unique, programmatic co-investment offering. Consistent with prior transactions, the acquisition was led by Fini Company, which will hold an ownership stake in the business.
Steve Van Tassel, the company's chief executive officer, said, "Our partnership with Acon and Fini represents an exciting new chapter for YumEarth. Since its founding, YumEarth has been guided by a simple belief: families should not have to choose between candy that tastes great and ingredients they can trust. With Acon's experience supporting consumer brands and Fini's deep confectionery expertise, we are well-positioned to expand our reach, strengthen our innovation pipeline and bring YumEarth to even more families."
Jolly said, "We are thrilled to partner with Steve and the YumEarth team, who have built a differentiated brand with a loyal consumer following at the intersection of several powerful consumer trends. We believe our partnership with Fini will provide valuable resources to help unlock the company's full potential."
Manolo Sánchez, chief executive officer of Fini, said, "YumEarth is an exceptional brand with a strong purpose, high-quality products and meaningful growth potential. We are excited to collaborate with Acon and YumEarth's talented management team to support the company's next phase of expansion."
