US confectionery group Hershey Foods has completed the purchase of the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Corp for US$130m from private equity group Shansby.

“Mauna Loa’s portfolio of premium macadamia nuts, nut-based confections and cookies is a great addition to Hershey’s stable of iconic brands,” Hershey CEO Richard Lenny said at the time.
