By GlobalDataThe group has raised $120m since it was set up four years ago as Next Gen Foods. The business changed its name to align with its flagship Tindle brand earlier this year.
Last June, Tindle Foods sold a stake to German media group ProSiebenSat.1. The exact terms were not disclosed but the transaction – described at the time as a “media-for-equity deal” – was, the company said, “valued at eight figures” in euros.
In December, executive chairman Timo Recker was again named Tindle Foods’ CEO after fellow co-founder Andre Menezes stepped down.
Recker, the Singapore-based company’s executive chairman, had been CEO from its inception in July 2020 to May 2021, when Menezes, who had been COO, became chief executive.
Menezes will remain a shareholder but said in a post on LinkedIn he was taking “some well-deserved personal time”.
Before setting up the then Next Gen Foods, Recker was the founder and CEO of another plant-based meat company, LikeMeat. That business was sold to meat-free group The Livekindly Collective in 2019.
