Nexture acquires 100% of the Frulact group: advisors
Uría Menéndez, in collaboration with Slaughter & May, has advised Nexture, the ingredients platform of Italian private equity group Investindustrial, in the competitive process for the acquisition of 100% of the Frulact group, an international Portuguese-origin manufacturer of natural ingredients for the food industry. On the seller’s side, Linklaters has advised Ardian, a global investment firm, on the deal.
This transaction strengthens Frulact’s market position both in Portugal and globally, with Investindustrial enhancing its presence in the natural ingredients sector, integrating technological and innovation capabilities that complement and enhance its value chain in the food industry.
On Uría’s side, transaction was led by partners Antonio Villacampa and Joana Torres Ereio, with the participation of senior associates Frederico Pinho Vieira and José Manuel García-Quílez Cuervas from the Corporate and M&A team.
On Linklaters’ side, deal was led by managing partner Marcos de Sousa Monteiro, with support from Sílvia Pinheiro Esteves, managing associate, and Nuno Devesa Neto, associate, both from the corporate team, who coordinated the transaction. The broader Linklaters team included a multidisciplinary group of lawyers operating across several jurisdictions and three continents.
