Walkers advises One Rock Capital in acquisition to expand European snack market leadership

Europe Snacks, headquartered in Paris, is a key player in the European snack industry. Producing crisps, and other savoury snacks for leading retailers and branded food companies, and with seven production facilities across the UK, France and Spain, Europe Snacks is a preferred partner in a competitive market.

Our Guernsey Investment Funds & Corporate team advised alongside the London and Paris corporate teams at Latham & Watkins on the acquisition, and included group partner Matt Sanders, senior counsel Jessica Robinson and associate Samantha Gramoney.

Matt Sanders, managing partner of Walkers’ Guernsey office, said: “It was a privilege to work alongside One Rock Capital Partners and their legal advisors on this complex cross-border deal, delivering solutions tailored to their needs.”

This acquisition builds on our relationship with One Rock Capital Partners, having previously advised the firm on its purchase of Constantia Flexibles last year. One Rock Capital Partners focuses on acquiring controlling investments in companies with potential for growth and operational improvement.
