6年5度出手收购宠物食品,通用磨坊豪赌“它经济”泰森猫粮食品公司

押注宠物食品“它经济”,开启“买买买”模式停不下来,跨国食品巨头通用磨坊又要收编一员“大将”了。

上周,通用磨坊宣布将以14.5亿美元(折合人民币约105亿元)的价格从欧洲私人投资公司NXMH手中收购WhitebridgePetBrands(美国白桥宠物品牌有限公司)的北美高端猫粮和宠物零食业务,以扩大其产品组合并加强其宠物食品业务。

令人印象深刻的是,这是短短六年内,通用磨坊在宠物品类宣布或完成的第五项收购,迄今累计交易金额高达百亿美元以上。截至目前,通用磨坊已将宠物食品品牌蓝挚(BlueBuffalo)引入中国市场,这正是其于2018年收购而来的业务。

这次通用磨坊看上的Whitebridge,旗下包括TikiPets、CloudStar等品牌。小食代留意到,TikiPets早前已于2019年进入了中国市场。不过,根据上述披露,此次收购交易目前仅涉及北美市场。

加码宠物食品

近年来借由收购将自己迅速变成了一家宠物食品巨头的通用磨坊,再次发挥“钞能力”来扩大该业务的版图。

通用磨坊在一份公告中指出,Whitebridge旗下拥有TikiPets和CloudStar等品牌,是猫粮和宠物零食领域的增长领导者,在美国达到520亿美元规模的宠物食品市场中,这两个领域的零售额总计达240亿美元。

“收购TikiPets和CloudStar等品牌组合,加强了我们在宠物领域的承诺,”通用磨坊北美宠物、国际和北美餐饮服务集团总裁JonNudi表示,“这些品牌补充了我们的BlueBuffalo产品组合,并将帮助我们在猫粮和零食领域逐步发展。“

“我们很高兴欢迎北美Whitebridge团队加入通用磨坊,并为宠物主提供不断扩大的品牌组合,让他们像家人一样喂养和对待他们的宠物。”Nudi说道。

根据Whitebridge的官方社交账号资料,在北美,其产品在8,000多家宠物商店、Petco、PetSmart、沃尔玛和Target等主要零售商以及Chewy和亚马逊等线上平台销售。在全球范围内,其产品分销范围遍布25个以上的国家。

根据店铺页面显示,TikiPets于2005年创立于美国,是“宠物食品营养的搭配专家”,“只选用完整且真实的肉”进行“微加工”,拥有TikiCat和TikiDog多样产品,2015年被Whitebridge收购,2019年开始进入中国市场。

翻看用户评价,不少消费者表示,“满满的肉香味,家里的小猫很爱”,“新鲜度高,高营养,会持续回购”,“能看到肉丝和鹌鹑蛋,猫很喜欢,一天吃一个还不够”。

不过,从上述公告披露的信息来看,通用磨坊此次收购仅包括Whitebridge北美业务,即不涉及TikiPets等品牌在中国市场的业务运营。

根据通用磨坊援引的尼尔森数据显示,Whitebridge北美业务在过去12个月内在美国的零售额约达3.25亿美元,主要来自宠物专卖店和电商渠道。

作为交易的一部分,通用磨坊将接管位于美国密苏里州的两家制造工厂的运营。NXMH将保留Whitebridge的欧洲业务和品牌。

该交易预计将于2025财年第三季度完成,但需获得监管部门批准并满足其他惯例成交条件。

“买不停手”

这家跨国食品巨头在宠物赛道中的收购频率是十分惊人的。加上最新宣布的交易,通用磨坊在六年内已经五次“出手”,反映了其抓住“它经济”全球增长机遇的巨大决心。

小食代介绍过,早前在2018年,通用磨坊以大约80亿美元(约合人民币535亿元)的价格收购了美国上市公司BlueBuffaloPetProducts,标志着其正式进军宠物食品行业。

在被通用磨坊收入麾下后,BlueBuffalo加速在国际市场上进行扩张。2021年10月,BlueBuffalo(中文名:蓝挚)正式布局中国市场,中国也成为了该品牌在北美以外布局的首个海外市场。目前,蓝挚已在中国推出了WildSpirit原野精灵系列、BabyBlue幼猫系列、TrueSolutions功能粮系列等产品。

继BlueBuffalo之后,通用磨坊继续在宠物食品领域“买不停手”。

2021年,通用磨坊宣布拟以12亿美元的价格,从泰森食品公司手中收购Nudges、TrueChews、TopChews等宠物零食品牌。彼时,泰森手上这些业务的年净销售额已总计超过2.4亿美元。

2023年11月,通用磨坊宣布收购一家由兽医创立的宠物补充剂公司FeraPets。这是通用磨坊首次进军宠物补充剂市场,也是其新推出的成长股权基金的首次收购。通用磨坊颠覆性增长副总裁JohnParrish表示,随着越来越多的家庭希望像照顾自身健康一样照顾宠物,宠物健康类产品正在崛起,期待通过与FeraPets合作扩大品牌规模。

今年以来,这家哈根达斯和湾仔码头的制造商更是已两度出手,将更多宠物食品公司放入“购物车”。

此前在今年4月,通用磨坊宣布收购欧洲宠物食品品牌Edgard&Cooper。数据显示,Edgard&Cooper2023年零售额超过1亿欧元(约1.07亿美元),并有望在欧洲市场继续保持快速增长。

千亿美元赛道

“宠物品类,你越深入了解,就越觉得有趣,你就越喜欢它。”通用磨坊全球首席执行官JeffHarmening今年9月在出席巴克莱全球消费品会议时曾最新说道,他对该品类业务的看重溢于言表。

不难发现,在扩大宠物食品业务的过程中,通用磨坊迄今为止的收购标的均为欧美宠物食品公司,但该公司也看到了其他国际市场的潜在巨大机遇,尤其是在中国。

“我们看到,全球宠物食品的销售额超过1000亿美元,其中约500亿美元在美国。我们需要在美国发展BlueBuffalo的业务,但同时我们也看到了美国之外的宠物食品机会,问题只是你要如何去做。”他说。

Harmening表示,在中国,通用磨坊通过引入蓝挚来实现这一目标。“中国是全球第二大宠物食品市场,但仍相对不成熟,正在以很快的速度在增长。因此,我们在中国以及其他一些国际市场推出了BlueBuffalo,(来抓住宠物食品的机遇)。“

“而在欧洲,我们采取了不同的策略,我们收购了Edgard&Cooper。这是因为他们的主张实际上与BlueBuffalo非常相似,但他们领先多年。欧洲(宠物品类)也是一个300亿美元规模的市场。”他说道。

未来,宠物继续是通用磨坊进行潜在收购交易最感兴趣的领域之一。

在谈及未来并购计划时,Harmening指出,通用磨坊立场没有改变。“我们更有可能进行补强型收购(bolt-onacquisitions),就像我们之前对于泰森宠物零食业务或Edgard&Cooper所做的收购交易那样。”

“坦白说,我们现在的首要任务是实现有机增长。如果要考虑收购,在当前环境下,我们考虑的可能是在我们擅长的领域,进行一些可以促进公司增长的较小型的交易。宠物、零食或餐饮服务等,这些可能是我们最感兴趣的领域。”Harmening表示。

Harmening更早前也对贝恩表示,过去几年最让他感到惭愧的事情之一是,展望未来并预测未来将会发生什么变得愈发困难。因此,通用磨坊专注于确保自己能够比其他任何人都更快地对正在发生的事情做出反应。

显然,Harmening认为面向未来,通用磨坊可以为“它经济”投入更多的资本。
