Alantra said the Frías management team will continue to be “a relevant shareholder in the company”, maintaining its involvement in the management and daily operations of the business. The PE firm has not revealed the size of its stake in Frías.

Founded in 1919, Frías, traditionally specialising in dairy products, has an annual turnover of around EUR60m (US$67.7m). It has more than 130 employees and operates a production plant in Burgos.

Alantra suggested the company has outstanding growth perspectives, driven by the increasing popularity of healthy food and beverages among consumers around the world.

Bruno Delgado, a partner at Alantra, said: “We are really impressed by the recent transformation carried out by the management team, from a traditional and more mature business such as dairy to a healthy vegetable food business with solid growth dynamics. From now on, we hope to be able to support them in accelerating growth, both domestically and internationally, but always betting on innovation.”
