Danone, France, acquired YoCrunch, a Naugatuck, Conn.-based mix-in toppings specialist, to support continued yogurt growth in the United States.
YoCrunch makes yogurt with crunchy toppings packaged separately, in part through licensing agreements with M&Ms and Oreo, among others. With net sales of $110 million and sustained double-digit growth in recent years, this acquisition will advance Danone’s ambition to further develop yogurt consumption and strengthen its offerings in the United States.
