Bahlsen, which announced the acquisition today (20 December), said Rawbite would continue to operate as a “stand-alone business” with its headquarters in Copenhagen. Rawbite director and co-founder Rolf Nolsøe Bau “will continue to head-up” the company together with other co-founders Morten Fullerton and Nikolaj Lehmann, Bahlsen said.

Nolsøe Bau claimed the deal would provide Rawbite with “strategic and financial muscle”. He said: “Add to this our relentless efforts in optimising the Rawbite brand, products and distri­b­u­tion model, the part­ner­ship will provide a unique oppor­tu­nity for us to reach even more consumers.”

In June, Bahlsen named Scott Brankin, the head of the German biscuit maker’s operations in central and eastern Europe, to the three-person management board that oversees the business.
