The Holistic Health platform generated $1.2 billion in sales last year, primarily in the U.S., with additional markets in Canada and China. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2027, pending regulatory approval.

Philipp Navratil, CEO of Nestlé, stated, "This is another important step in the strategic transformation of our portfolio." Yellow Wood's partner, Dana Schmaltz, emphasized the potential for growth, saying, "Holistic Health is an excellent platform of trusted brands with deep retailer relationships providing significant opportunities for continued growth."

The deal includes a U.S. private-label supplements business and related manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, and distribution facilities. Yellow Wood aims to leverage its Consumer Operating DNA model to accelerate growth across the acquired brands, which are leaders in high-growth sectors of the vitamins, minerals, and supplements market.

This acquisition marks Yellow Wood's sixth significant carveout from major global consumer companies, including Bayer and Unilever, showcasing its strategy of investing in consumer brands.
