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.
