Pinsent Masons advises on strategic Australian food product manufacturer acquisition

The acquisition of Food Coatings Australia, a potato cake manufacturer and food coating facility, is the third acquisition by Lamb Weston in Australia, further contributing to Lamb Weston’s growth in the Australian market and expanding Lamb Weston’s product offering.

The Pinsent Masons cross-practice, multi-office team on the matter was led by transactional services partner Ewan Robertson and senior associate Lisa Meyer.

Commenting on the matter, Ewan Robertson said: “Having advised Lamb Weston on two previous acquisitions pre-COVID, it was great to be able to work with Lamb Weston again on a third acquisition, helping them to further their growth in Australia. This deal demonstrates Pinsent Masons’ continued deal activity in the diversified industrial and manufacturing sub-sectors.”
