Overview

Spayne Lindsay is delighted to announce that it has advised Kettle Foods on its acquisition of Cornpoppers from its founders.

Cornpoppers was established in 1979 and is a privately owned business, supplying branded and private-label popcorn products to retailers and wholesalers. Among its branded range are three cinema-style popcorns, as well as specialty flavours such as jalape�o, chilli and lemon, and maple syrup.This acquisition follows on from Kettle Chips� acquisition of Metcalfe�s skinny last year and represents their continued commitment to the popcorn category, one of the fastest growing snacking categories in the UK.

�This is another exciting step for us. The acquisition will allow us to fully manage all aspects of popcorn production and to offer our customers a great range of quality popcorn products. Spayne Lindsay have been very helpful again with their clear advice and support on this transaction.�
