Findus Group BUYS LUTOSA retail business.

Frozen food giant Findus has added to European business by acquiring Lutosa deal as a part of the European Unions clearance of McCain Foods acquisition of the potato products supplier.Lutosa is a producer of French fries and the main speciality contributes to potato products accounts for 15% sale of the Belgian retail frozen potato market.


The Findus Group is a multinational food business headquartered in the UK and with operations around Europe. It is the parent Group of Young’s, Findus and The Seafood Company. An estimated 20 million people eat the products of Findus on average every week. Findus described the deal as a small but important acquisition which offered "synergies" with its operations in France.



The main advantage of this acquisition helps Findus group to grow their business and can broader their expertise into the Belgian market and can leverage the famed qualities of Belgian potatoes and fries across their branches. The drawback may be rebranding of Findus may not be successful because Lutosa accounts for just 15% sale of the Belgian retail frozen potato market.
