The Clearwater team has advised the founders on the sale of Ceposa AG, a leading Swiss producer of Mediterranean appetisers, to a group of investors led by Verium.
As part of a succession solution, a group of investors led by Verium is acquiring a majority stake in Ceposa AG (Ceposa).
Founded in 1999, Ceposa is the leading Swiss producer of high-quality, fresh Mediterranean appetizers (antipasti). Ceposa focuses on quality (IFS certification, rigorous quality management), naturalness (no artificial flavours or flavour enhancers) and freshness (no preservatives). The product range includes around 100 standard items and 250 speciality items in the antipasti, olives and sauces segment.
The new group of investors plans to further extend its quality leadership, expand its range with new product ideas and develop the market even better. The fragmented market also opens up opportunities for targeted additional acquisitions.
