Unilever to acquire condiment company Sir Kensington’s

4/21/2017

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. — Unilever on Wednesday announced that it had struck an agreement to acquire New York-based condiment company Sir Kensington’s. The brand is a leader in condiments sold in the natural and organic space, Unilever said.


The Sir Kensington’s product line has grown since its launch in 2010 to include mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise and a vegan mayonnaise made from aquafaba called Fabanaise.


“We are excited to bring Sir Kensington’s into the Unilever family,” Unilever North America president Kees Kruythoff said. “Their mission to bring ‘integrity and charm to ordinary and overlooked food’ is very much in line with our Unilever Sustainable Living Plan. Sir Kensington’s is an innovative business with outstanding products and a leader in the organic and natural marketplace. We look forward to leveraging our joint understanding of food trends and consumer preferences to significantly grow the business.”


Unilever said that Sir Kensington’s company mission aligns with its work to grow sustainable living.


“Working with Unilever will allow us to more rapidly expand distribution while holding true to our values as we help define the next generation of good food,” Sir Kensington’s co-founder Scott Norton said.


Norton and co-founder Mark Ramadan will retain their roles at Sir Kensington’s. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and it is expected to close in the next few weeks.
