Historical shareholders Siparex, the French private-equity firm, and Carvest, the regional investment arm of French bank Credit Agricole, have also re-invested.
Arcado, based in Avoudrey in eastern France, has four production sites and employs more than 300 staff. The company is expected to generate revenue of EUR76m (US$88.2m) and more than EUR10m in EBITDA in 2018, Carvest said.
The supplier markets the products under brands including Jean-Louis Amiotte and Morteau Saucisse, as well as own label.
