Spain plant-based business Alimentos Sanygran has bought assets in Iberia from Nutrition & Santé.

In a statement, Alimentos Sanygran said the assets include a factory in Castellterçol near Barcelona and the Natursoy organic plant-based food brand.

The transaction also includes taking over the distribution of third-party brands in specialist organic stores. Around 60 employees will move to the new ownership, as part of the deal.

Alimentos Sanygran did not disclose the financial terms of the transaction.

The Spanish firm, which is partly owned by Spanish snacks major Grupo Apex, said the deal will help in “further consolidating” the company’s position in the sector.

“With this deal, the company advances its strategy of industrial consolidation and positioning across the entire value chain, aiming to lead Spain’s plant protein sector by integrating new capabilities that complement its existing technological and production platform,” the statement said.

Nutrition & Santé is a subsidiary of Japanese group Otsuka Pharmaceutical.

The company reported a turnover of €428m ($490m) in 2025. According to the company’s website, the Iberian region constituted around 19.9% of the firm’s total sales volumes.

Nutrition & Santé sells products including tofu, seitan and tempeh.

Alimentos Sanygran, based in Tudela in Navarra, supplies retail, foodservice and food-manufacturing customers in Spain.

Grupo Apex has confirmed to Just Food that it maintains a “shareholding relationship” with Alimentos Sanygran.

The snacks company manufactures and sells salty snacks, nuts and potato chips.

The group, also headquartered in Navarra, has 15 sites in Spain and employs more than 900 people directly.

Grupo Apex has also been active on the deal front in recent quarters. Last September, it acquired Uriarte Iturrate’s brands and snacks assets to further expand its portfolio.

It also snapped up local peer Chavez y Clark last year.
