The dairy unit has been snapped up by a consortium of investors including the management and staff of DairyBelle.


Commenting on the sale, Nick Dennis, CEO of Tiger Brands, said: “Tiger Brands has agreed to the disposal of DairyBelle as the dairy business is not a strategic core business for us. Furthermore, we envisage that DairyBelle’s potential as a significant player in the dairy industry can be better maximised as an independent dedicated dairy company.”


The deal was originally announced on 21 February. The Competition Tribunal has approved the acquisition, which will be effective from 28 April.
