The new company was formed at the end of July 2010 by the contribution of Rudolf Wild GmbH & Co KG, Eppelheim, Germany, Wild Affiliated Holdings Inc, Erlanger, Kentucky (US) and the Swiss assets owned by Dr Wild into the Swiss holding company, Wild flavours GmbH. Dr Wild has now implemented the strategy that was announced jointly in January 2010, when Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR) entered into a partnership with the company.
“I am very excited and enthused that together with our partner KKR, we’ve been able to create the new structure within half a year,” said Dr Hans-Peter Wild. “However, there’s still a long way to go. During the next months, we will bring together the new global organisation and integrate the processes. We expect that we will benefit from KKR’s extensive experience here as well.”
Deutsche SiSi Werke GmbH & Co Betriebs KG Eppelheim with its leading brand Capri-Sonne/Capri-Sun and Indag, the technology centre of Wild, and the fruit preparation businesses of Wild Dairy Ingredients (WDI) Nauen, Germany are not part of the new structure. They are not affected by the new company organisation and continue to be 100% owned by Dr Hans-Peter Wild.
