Sambazon acquires Pitaya Foods to expand U.S. retail distribution

The transaction combines two tropical-fruit product businesses and expands Sambazon’s retail footprint beyond its established açaí business. The companies said the combination is intended to broaden distribution and strengthen their position in the better-for-you food category. The leadership structure preserves continuity at both companies while giving Casano a commercial role focused on sales expansion. Whipstitch Capital advised Pitaya Foods on the transaction.
