With M&A transactions getting louder, it can only mean one thing…protein bar brands are starting to party like it’s 2019 again! While the Vitamin Well Group (i.e. Barebells) investment was much larger...1440 Foods acquiring Pervine Foods, LLC (i.e. FITCRUNCH) makes perfect logical sense. And that’s because while the protein bar market (like the entire supplement industry) has mostly a “sea of sameness” composition...differentiation can be derived from having a unique form factor. Furthermore, if that unique form factor proves popular…a competitive advantage can be created through defensibility if you own (or created) that manufacturing process. This is the story of FITCRUNCH…because the brand was co-founded by the contract manufacturer Bakery Barn, LLC. And after Union Capital Associates, LP more directly connected the companies in 2019...not only did 1440 Foods acquire FITCRUNCH, but also super helpful vertical integration assets. But beyond extracting value from the product complexity/uniqueness and Bakery Barn vertical integration aspect, 1440 Foods acquired FITCRUNCH because its highly complementary to the existing brand portfolio of Pure Protein, MET-Rx, and Body Fortress. Additionally, this deepens the 1440 Foods concentration into the active nutrition sub-segment of convenient nutrition bars that has shown strong growth of late compared to the general grocery category. So, my latest first principles thinking content will examine the near-term outlook of 1440 Foods…and if Bain Capital (and 4x4 Capital) is still steering the convenient nutrition brand portfolio towards an eventual IPO. #strategy #trends #markets #fmcg #cpg #food #beverages #protein #snacking #sportsnutrition #supplements #wellness #nutrition #innovation #finance #mergersandacqusitions #marketing #branding #productdevelopment #retailing #merchandising #retail #grocery #business #businessintelligence #entrepreneurship Patrick Cornacchiulo https://lnkd.in/gXjksTpS
