Fra Fejø, a Danish supplier of organic baby-food, has snapped up local peer Moseriet amid buoyant sales and a desire to expand its business overseas.

Thomas Hermansen, Fra Fejø’s CEO and co-founder, said his company had acquired Moseriet to bolster its position domestically, although the new asset’s namesake brand would not be retained for now.

“We decided to buy Moseriet because we want to have the strongest position in the Danish market. We were the only two producing 100% Danish and organic baby food in Denmark,” Hermansen said. “We have decided to focus on our own brand. We might relaunch the Moseriet brand in the future, but nothing is decided yet.”

The move for Moseriet, struck for an undisclosed sum, is Fra Fejø’s first acquisition since Hermansen set up the company in 2017.

Hermansen refused to be drawn on the sales and profits of the two businesses. “Both companies are still young and focused on establishing themselves on the Danish market,” he said.
