Brazil's Minerva Foods has snapped up the Australian Lamb Company.
👉 Background: Australian Lamb Co is a major supplier of lamb to companies like Coles, as well as hotels, resorts, restaurants and butchers.
👉 What happened: For the year to June 2021, it generated an EBITDA of $21m on $430m of revenue. Not behhd at all. Earlier this year,, Australian Lamb put itself up for sale to capitalise on the soaring global demand for protein.
👉 What else: Now, Brazil‘s Minerva Foods has snapped up the Australian Lamb Company for $400m.
💡The perfect exit is all about the perfect timing. Companies that sell protein sources are in very hot demand around the world right now.
💡The main reason? The war in Ukraine with Russia is causing food shortages around the world. And the Australian meat processing industry is on fire. In fact, it generates $23.5bn of annual revenue, according to IBISWorld.
💡And with export demand rising dramatically over the past five years, its clear why Australian Lamb put itself up for sale.
