Australian ginger specialist Buderim Group has acquired macadamia business Royal Hawaiian Orchards.
Buderim will merge its new venture with its pre-existing macadamia operation MacFarms.
The deal, for an undisclosed sum, will see Buderim become the largest marketer of macadamia nuts in the US, it claims.
Andrew Bond, chief executive officer at Buderim said: “This transformational acquisition creates a platform for us to become a global leader in macadamia nut snacks.
“Leading the US market – where there is significant growth potential for this healthy, nutrient-rich snack – will help us lay the groundwork for making our macadamia nuts a household staple across the world.”
Scott Wallace, executive vice president at MacFarms, will lead the combined business and oversee sales, marketing and operations, having previously worked for Royal Hawaiian Orchards.
