Bain Capital invests $250m in sous vide food company Cuisine Solutions

US sous vide food company Cuisine Solutions has announced a $250 million investment from private equity firm Bain Capital, as it looks to expand globally. Cuisine Solutions is the "largest" sous vide company worldwide, with locations in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. French for ‘under vacuum,’ sous vide is a cooking method in which food is vacuum-sealed and cooked in water at precise temperatures. The company, which is headquartered in Sterling, Virginia, provides prepared sous vide food products to foodservice, on-board, military and retail customers worldwide, including Starbucks, CostCo, Trader Joe's and Target. Felipe Hasselmann, CEO of Cuisine Solutions, said: "Our future, while bright before this strategic partnership, is now even more exciting as we see substantial runway to drive growth and expansion through continued innovation across multiple product categories". "...This investment will enable us to rapidly scale our worldwide manufacturing infrastructure, business partnerships and fortify our supply chain, thereby creating additional scale to meet the growing needs of the global partners who rely on our products every day across tens of thousands of locations," added Hasselmann. The minority investment will further strengthen Cuisine Solutions’ position in the sous vide category, provide additional resources to support product innovation, and help expand its business and manufacturing footprint globally. Last year, Cuisine Solutions partnered with Eat Just on vegan sous vide egg bites.
