Bhai Dooj 2022: How gifting pattern has evolved over generations?
People are choosing either electronic items or e-vouchers as gift items for their siblings nowadays for Bhai Dooj.
Bhai Dooj 2022: Sahil Saxena, 26, stays away from home, but no matter what, he will be at his home in Delhi on the day of Bhai Dooj every year to celebrate the same with his sister. This is the story of millions of siblings across India who try their best to be together on this day. And any celebration is incomplete without the exchange of gifts and Bhai Dooj is no different. But with time the patterns of gifting on Bhai Dooj have also changed.
The craze for electronic items
Debolina Sanyal, 28, a resident of Kolkata recalls how she used to gift shirts, and jeans to her brothers and cousins on this day, but now she has bought smart watches for her brothers. According to the data produced by various e-commerce platforms, the sale of electronic items exponentially goes up during this time.
We reached out to various individuals within the age group of 20 to 45 and seven out of ten individuals suggested that they would prefer gifting some electronic items to their siblings.
Be it laptops, audio devices, or smartphones, the demand for most electronic devices spiked on the eve of Bhai Dooj. As per the data produced by Flipkart, Eelectronic devices, including laptops, true wireless audio devices, and smartwatches, saw over 20 per cent growth, with the student community driving the majority of the demand. The company also clarified that premium mobile phones costing Rs. 20,000 and upwards comprised almost 50 per cent of the total mobiles sold. More than 44 per cent of the buyers of premium mobile phones came from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
Even Amazon India confirmed that as 5G smartphones become more affordable, the mid-range price segment saw a strong uptake here with around 80 per cent sold in the sub 15k category. According to Amazon India, laptops, wearables, headphones, and tablets were the most loved products with HP, boAt, Lenovo, Asus, Apple, Fireboltt, Noise, and Sony being the preferred brands.
Even some of the local electronic shops stated that on the eve of Bhai Dooj, there is an upsurge in the sale of affordable electronic items.
E-vouchers are the best alternatives
While giving out cash has always been one of the most preferred alternatives for gifts, these days a lot of people prefer to gift e-vouchers from Amazon, Flipkart, Ajio, and other e-commerce platforms as an alternative to gifts.
The gifting patterns of individuals have been evolving rapidly over the past few years with gift cards emerging as one of the most preferred mediums as it offers the flexibility to choose from a wide assortment of goods to purchase from and get it delivered anywhere in the country.
“During the festive period(Sep-Oct), we saw nearly 60 per cent increase in customers opting for gift cards over the same period last year. These gift cards were mainly bought for occasions such as Rakshabandhan, Diwali, and Birthdays, and we have seen nearly a 30 per cent increase in average spending on gift cards during the festive period year over last year," mentioned the spokesperson of Flipkart.

The second generation of Apple Watches was released in 2016 but Apple is already thinking about the next edition. And of course, the Internet is already full of rumours.
According to DigiTimes, Apple Watch 3 will feature completely new displays. The current generation of these iWatch smartwatches have a screen based on the Touch-On-Lens technology. However, the third installment of Apple Watches will be fitted with the display, made of glass film.
The transition to new displays has various reasons behind it, including Touch-On-Lens screen being too expensive and too complicated to manufacture. Some sources say that glass-film displays will help Apple lower the expenses and reduce the percentage of defective goods. According to various rumours, other companies will be responsible for these displays and Apple has to choose one: either Biel Crystal Manufactory or General Interface Solution.
The same DigiTimes says that Apple will finalize all production questions until the second half of 2017. Once it’s done, the rest won’t take much time, so the release of Apple Watch 3 may fall on autumn of 2017.

For the time being, the brand will only accept cryptocurrency payments from the United States.
Tag Heuer is now available. Cryptocurrencies are at the heart of this project.
Tag Heuer, a globally recognized luxury watchmaker, recently partnered with BitPay, a crypto exchange payment system enabler, to allow customers in the United States to buy their products using crypto. Ethereum, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Shiba Inu, and five other US Dollar-backed stablecoins are among the twelve cryptocurrencies currently supported as payment options.
The brand will be capable of supporting digital transactions of up to $10,000 with no minimum spending requirement by partnering with BitPay. Users will pay in cryptocurrencies through the BitPay service, which will then convert the payments into traditional fiat currency as well as deliver it to Tag Heuer. Tag Heuer will now support a number of well-known cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges, including Coinbase, Binance, Gemini Wallet, and others.
Frédéric Arnault, CEO of Tag Heuer, commented on the crypto market and the company’s new development, saying that the company has been monitoring cryptocurrencies since they first emerged, when Bitcoin began to show its presence in the market. This indicated that the company had been cultivating its interest in cryptocurrencies and was waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
Despite the active volatility that the cryptocurrency market faces, the CEO added that because the brand focuses on innovation, they knew that this new technology would undoubtedly be integrated into their business model in the near future, bringing evolution to the financial industry.
There’s No Need to Worry About Market Conditions
As previously stated, despite the volatility of the cryptocurrency market, not only well-known fashion brands, but also a variety of other brands from various industries have been working to start engaging with the cryptocurrency market.
This year, globally renowned brands such as Gucci and Off White made cryptocurrencies a legitimate payment option for those interested. However, when it comes to refunds, there is a major issue, as Bitcoin cash would return the same amount of bitcoin, irrespective of its current market value, which could have fallen or surged, resulting in a loss for either the customer or the company.

Harley in brief
Harley-Davidson was up to 3rd place in market share terms in Germany for the first two months of 2018, albeit on low volumes so far, having sold 834 units for a 9.52 percent share – placing it above players such as Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Ducati and Triumph. Its top sellers so far in 2018 are the XL 1200 X and Street Bob. However, all manufacturers are eating BMW’s dust – the unstoppable Munich machine scored a whopping 30.84 percent market share YTD.
Established in 1987, Frontier Harley-Davidson in Lincoln, Nebraska, has been sold by owners David and Deborah Fischer to Nebraska and Iowa car dealer Steve Hinchcliff (H & H Automotive).
Harley was the leading road bike brand in market share terms in Australia in 2017 (8,903 units sold), ahead of Honda and Yamaha; its top sellers were the XG500 (1,182 units - the second bestselling road bike overall in Australia in 2017) and the FXSB (1,150 – the third bestselling road bike overall).
Harley’s brake manufacturer Brembo (Italy) saw revenues grow by +8.1% in 2017 to €2,463.6 million, with EBITDA up by +8.2% and net profit up by +9.5%.
EagleRider has passed a “significant milestone” after a year of its dealer rentals partnership with Harley, having signed its 100th Harley dealer to the program. Harley’s Director of Retail development Anoop Prakash said “our alliance with EagleRider is an important component of our objective to build two million new riders in the U.S.”
The Muscular Dystrophy Association has honored Harley as “one of its outstanding national partners” for its 38 years of fundraising and support at its 2018 Clinical Conference at Arlington, Virginia. Harley, its dealers and its customers have raised over $103 million for research into the disease in that time.
J&P Cycles is to make Harley’s 115th anniversary celebrations at Milwaukee (Aug 29 - Sept 2) a stop on its Mobile Tour - one of nine stops for 2018 that should see the company getting in front of more than a million enthusiasts. Having kicked off the tour at Daytona in March, further upcoming events include its own Iowa Rally in June, Sturgis, Delmarva, Biketoberfest and the Lone Star Rally in Texas.

New financing: Factal, the Seattle startup that monitors breaking news to help companies assess risks to their businesses, has raised $ 3.3 million in a Series A funding round.
The company: Factal was launched in October 2018 using a combination of artificial intelligence and experienced journalists to identify and verify events ranging from severe weather conditions to mass shootings. Corporate clients are alerted so they can make smarter decisions regarding people, property, and operations in the vicinity of such events.
The startup was founded by key players from the old Breaking News website and app, which attracted millions of followers, but was shut down by NBC News for lack of revenue in 2016. Factal CEO Charlie Tillinghast previously oversaw the creation of Breaking News as a startup when he was president and CEO of MSNBC Interactive, the former joint venture of Microsoft and NBC News. The co-founders are Cory Bergman, Factal’s vice president of product, and Ben Tesch, vice president of technology.
Customers: Factal’s paying clients are primarily the world’s largest corporations, according to Tillinghast. Verification, proximity mapping, personalized alerts, and real-time collaboration are targeted at clients spanning physical security, global risk intelligence, business continuity, emergency management, supply chain management. supply and executive protection.
“For 2021 and beyond, we plan to develop similar breaking news products for companies beyond the Fortune 500 that have the same need to protect their people and operations,” said Tillinghast. “The products will include easier-to-use desktop and mobile tools that do not require a dedicated security team to monitor.”
Factal’s service extends beyond paid business customers with free and unlimited access to more than 80 non-governmental organizations providing disaster relief, humanitarian aid and human rights assistance around the world.
Strong growth: Tillinghast said Factal’s revenue and number of clients have more than doubled over the past year, and the startup is profitable and has positive cash flow as it continues to grow headcount and marketing.
The company has grown to 28 employees and opened an office in London to cover the world 24 hours a day.
Investors: The round, which was led by Arthur Ventures with the participation of the main initial investor Seachange Fund, includes an additional $ 1.9 million in secondary share purchases. Factal previously raised $ 1.2 million in seed funding.
Last word: “The combination of the pandemic, civil unrest, the frequency of severe weather and other disruptive events are causing organizations to expand or create teams to protect their people and assets,” Tillinghast said. “The cost to a company for failing to protect its employees, supply chain and assets from incidents that occur beyond its walls is enormous compared to the cost of avoiding unforeseen dangers.

The iQOS device, is a Heat not Burn (HnB) smokeless alternative to combustible cigarettes and works by heating tobacco leaves known as Heets or HeatSticks. These refills which look like short cigarettes, must be inserted into the device and are heated up once it is switched on.
Studies have indicated that using the device carries significantly less health risks than smoking, but more than vaping. Phillip Morris has spent £3bn developing iQOS, which it is now marketing as a healthier alternative to cigarettes.
PMI distributing iQOS posters to newsagents
A recent investigation by The Telegraph found that PMI has been supplying newsagents across Britain with window posters promoting iQOS. The Department for Health and the National Trading Standards Institute have confirmed that the posters breach a long-standing ban on advertising tobacco and tobacco-related products. Such Unlawful advertisement can result in a financial penalty or a custodial sentence of up to six months.
In response to the findings the public health minister, Steve Brine, warned that the department was prepared to take legal action. “We have been explicit that the promotion of tobacco products is unlawful – as my letter to Philip Morris International makes abundantly clear,” he said.
“Smoking kills 78,000 people every year and I am personally committed to doing all I can to protect people from the harms of tobacco. We expect PMI to stop this unlawful advertisement of tobacco products and we will not rule out legal action if they continue.”
PMI says that their actions are within the law
On the other hand Phillip Morris denies that the adverts are illegal and claims that the intention is making safer alternatives available to smokers in order to help them quit. “We have already replied to the Department’s letter asking for an urgent meeting to clarify the concerns. We believe that all of our activities are within the law. Our business is committed to helping smokers switch from cigarettes to better alternatives as fast as possible,” said Peter Nixon, UK managing director at Philip Morris.
Chief executive of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), Deborah Arnott who is known to be in favour of using safer tobacco alternatives for harm reduction, agrees with the Health Minister. “The legislation is very clear that advertising which has the effect of promoting tobacco products is illegal. That includes iQOS, just as it includes pipes used for smoking tobacco. It’s a barefaced cheek for Philip Morris to argue otherwise,” she said.

Last week BlackBerry finally released the Priv, it’s the first Android smartphone from the company, the reviews have come in and some really like the device while others offer mixed views. As far as customers are concerned it appears that quite a few are clamoring to get their hands on one. Demand for the BlackBerry Priv appears to be high as shipments have now been pushed back because of supply constraint.
The company did ship pre-ordered units on November 6th, AT&T also had units in its stores on the very same date, but people who are purchasing the phone online now are seeing that shipments have been pushed back.
That’s most likely due to supply constraints as demand may have proven to be more than what BlackBerry accounted for. It doesn’t necessarily means that the phone is selling like hot cakes, given how its recent models have performed, BlackBerry is likely to have made fewer units at the start just to make sure it doesn’t end up with unsold inventory.
The company says that it started fulfilling shipments from November 6th but due to demand it has now phased shipments. Those who are purchasing the device online from BlackBerry are now seeing a notice on the website informing them that the unit may ship the week of November 23rd, the company says this is for the next wave of shipments.
If you’re curious about this handset check out our review of the BlackBerry Priv, it’ll help you decide whether or not you want to put your money down for this Android-powered slider handset.

If advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket, then government advertising must represent the ultimate pig’s dinner. Certainly there can be few practitioners who have rattled the bucket louder, thereby embracing another Orwell maxim that “if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought”.
From the same people that turned passengers into customers, patients into service users and spending into investment, the persecution of newly-identified pariahs starts with a subtle linguistic shift. Today I noticed that in the new “no ifs, no buts” anti benefit fraud campaign, “benefit cheat” had been turned into “benefit thief”. This may be a handy way of stating the truth about a form of fraud that is often seen as “victimless”, but I wondered whether this marked a new approach to fighting crime? Instead of trying to shame perpetrators into ceasing, they have opted for simply insulting them.
This Christmas watch out for the government’s new anti drink-driving campaign: “Oi, wanker – pack it in”.

In order to meet the insatiable demand for the SNES Classic Edition, Nintendo announced this week that it will ship the retro console into 2018 rather than ceasing shipments at the end of the year, as was previously the plan. So even if you don’t manage to secure a preorder for launch day, you should still have plenty of other opportunities to find and purchase and SNES Classic before they disappear forever.
In addition to extending the availability of the console, Nintendo will also ship more units of the SNES Classic Edition on its September 29th launch day than were shipped of the NES Classic Edition all of 2016. SNES Classic shipments will then continue to arrive in stores “regularly” in the weeks and months following launch as well, so perhaps it won’t be quite as impossible to get one as it was to find a NES Classic.
Nintendo has been pilloried over the past year for failing to meet demand with both the NES Classic and the Switch. Limited supply for popular new devices is nothing not unique to Nintendo, but the company couldn’t have handled the situation worse. Preorders went up at random, there was nothing stopping hoarders from buying dozens of consoles and upselling them on eBay, and communication was nonexistent.
Thankfully, it appears that Nintendo has learned from its mistakes and will be doing everything in its power to make sure that every customer who wants a SNES Classic Edition gets one. Plus, the NES Classic Edition is coming back next summer, so those who missed out will have a second chance.

On 13th May, PM of India announced it the financial package of 20 trillion which is 10% of GDP, PM further bolsters the concept of “Self -Reliance” to promote domestic growth and saving them from holistic takeovers from MNCs. COVID-19 has provided a chance to turn a crisis into an opportunity. Irrespective of the fact that “Self-Reliance” will be the motto, India is committed to global welfare, it will create the supply chains that will connect India on the global level.
As per, NITI Aayog Coastal Economic Zones will be set up to attract companies which are planning to exit China since last few years, might be due to they don’t want to get trapped in US-China Trade war additionally labor and supply chains are getting costly so firms will rely on the second-largest economy.
But why are companies are not looking towards India as the second spot after China for their businesses? Why are all companies preferring Vietnam and Bangladesh over India? The reason is straight forward; India is lacking in well-functioning land and labor laws. International Growth Centre said ease of doing business is another hurdle for which steps were taken but not enough to attract firms. Another big reason companies might be uncertain about India is they need a guarantee that the policy regime will not be changed the midway which had happened in past, the current government might not do it but the successor government can.
There is a long way to go to attract the firms that are willing to exit China, however, China can retain multi-national corporations, providing India with little space to woo them.

Did you know that getting a sunburn just once every two years can triple your risk of melanoma (source: Cancer Research UK)? For this reason, sunscreen is essential in the fight against skin cancer.
As the world awakens to consider its new normal in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technology is providing new hope in the fight against skin cancer, a disease that doesn’t respond to the idea of a pause.
On average 1 in 5 people will develop skin cancer at some point in their lifetime, with UV exposure being the biggest cause of the disease. According to Cancer Research UK, just one case of severe sunburn every two years heavily increases your chances of getting melanoma skin cancer.
The UV stands for Ultra Violet – basically, a ray that is invisible to the human eye. This is why sunburn does not show up straight away, as well as wrinkles which can develop over time.
AMSTERDAM, 7 May 2020 – Spring and warm weather are here to stay for the coming months. Despite the fact that many aspects of our daily lives have changed drastically, responsible sun behaviour and timely detection of skin cancer remain more important than ever.

IWG, a supplier of digital e-instant games to member lotteries of the World Lottery Association and the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries, has announced an agreement with the New Hampshire Lottery that will see the launch of two seasonal e-instant titles.
The pair of seasonal fan-favorites from IWG – Halloween Extreme and Frosty Fun – will now be added to the New Hampshire Lottery’s portfolio with Halloween Extreme going live on August 19, and Frosty Fun available from October 28.
Moreover, the games will also have retail versions printed by Scientific Games, with both e-instants linked to their printed versions via cross-promotional free play awards which aims to introduce retail players to the online medium.
Rhydian Fisher, IWG CEO, stated: “Normally within the ilottery product offering, games that originate in retail make their way to online, but this is unique as it is the opposite of that. The New Hampshire Lottery has taken our successful e-instant games and mechanics and applied them to retail tickets, which adds huge value for the retail experience, as players get new themes and mechanics from the ilottery offering.”
Having traditional retail versions of popular e-instant titles has become common practice for IWG, with the group having previously converted its Super Cash Buster title into a retail scratch game for the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, Loto Quebec and Lotto New Zealand.
Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Lottery, added: “Our recent IWG integration adds tremendous value to the New Hampshire ilottery experience, but the cross-promotional efforts with Halloween Extreme and Frosty Fun demonstrates how our partnership with IWG goes beyond that. We are excited to be launching Halloween Extreme and Frosty Fun in dual formats, and we are looking forward to more opportunities like this with IWG.”
The deal with the New Hampshire Lottery furthers IWG’s reach across the North American lottery sector and follows on from partnerships with ALC, BCLC, Georgia Lottery, Kentucky Lottery, Loto-Québec, Michigan Lottery, Virginia Lottery and Pennsylvania Lottery.

When a customer invests money in a product that is supposed to offer a certain set of features for no fee, they expect it to stay that way. Canary is now finding that out the hard way.
A group of Canary consumers, led by irate customer Jeff Reifman, have come together to file a class-action lawsuit against the DIY smart home camera company.
The lawsuit says Canary is guilty of pulling a “bait and switch” by offering features that did not require monthly or subscription fees. Then in Oct. 2017, these features suddenly required a $120 annual subscription, according to court documents.
“Plaintiffs and other consumers purchased the Products reasonably believing that all key features included with their initial purchase would remain available without any future cost,” the lawsuit says.
“Had Plaintiffs and other consumers known that Canary would remove the Product’s features and place them behind a paywall, they would not have purchased the Products or would have paid significantly less for the Products.”
Prior to the “switch,” customers were able to view previously recorded videos, download clips and access a “night mode.” These features now require a subscription, with only 30-second video clips after motion is detected, one-day video history and 24/7 live check-in available for free.
Canary debuted in 2013 as a crowdfunded project on Indiegogo. It would end up raising nearly $2 million, or 1961% of its goal. Its products are now sold at various retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon.
You can read more about Reifman’s dealings with Canary on his blog.

Oregon lawmaker plans to introduce federal GMO labeling bill
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-OR is working on a bill that would make the labeling of foods containing genetically modified organisms a matter of federal law, a spokesperson confirmed yesterday. If passed, the bill, which is still in its early formative stages and which has Rep. Jared Polis, D-CO as potential co-sponsor, presumably would supercede the numerous state-level efforts underway to pass GMO labeling laws.

BLACKBURN UNIVERSITY wrote -
I recently learned of on amazing opportunity for a group of Blackburn College students and am asking that you join me in supporting them!
Funding that was targeted for a group of Blackburn marketing students to compete in the National Student Advertising Competition has dried up.
The students have already been preparing because Blackburn has participated in the past.
While I have not been the most active alum or contributor, I believe this is an important opportunity for Blackburn students to experience a “real world” situation better preparing them for success after college.
To send the students we need to raise $6,928 by early April.
Each year the American Advertising Federation holds the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC). Teams of students from campuses across the country, including Blackburn, research, plan, prepare and present an integrated marketing campaign proposal to address a real-world marketing challenge being experienced by a national retailer. This year that company is Snapple, the third largest non-alcoholic beverage company.
A group of 12 students from multiple departments including computer science and business began working on their marketing plan earlier this fall and are excited to present at the regional competition in South Bend, Indiana this April.
Would you join me in helping these students finish what they started and benefit from this amazing opportunity?

kraken and Bitfinex,the two leading bitcoin exchange platforms both expressed that they will not apply for BitLicense at present.
BitLicense is a regulation for digital currencies in the New York State,which has many criticisms from bitcoin community.The supervisor set a deadline (August 8,2015) for related companies in NY to apply.
So far,Larger exchanges including Gemini,itBit and Bitstamp are all applying for BitLicense,while smaller companies like GoCoin,Poloniex all expressed that they will leave NY.
The exchange Kraken,whose headquartered is located in San Francisco,has a worse relationship with U.S. regulator. The company once stopped withdrawal of US dollars at the beginning of 2014 and recovered in October 2014.Now US citizen still can’t trade with USD at the exchange.
Kraken said:We believe that the regulation from NY is valuable,but it spends too much.Therefor,we have no choice but to leave NY.
The exchange Bitfinex,whose headquartered is located in Hong kong directly announced that they will refuse to apply for BitLicense.
Both exchanges also said they will keep watching the supervision situation of NY and expected to reopen the exchanging service.

“You don’t see entrepreneurs going into 20,000 square feet,” said Pat Haines, associate broker at Ikon Realty.
One of Haines’s recent clients is a good example.
She worked with Rob Trask to find a location for his restaurant franchise, Arizona Pizza, which is new to the state.
They considered several locations but settled on Clifton Park because of its demographics and the strong visibility of a retail building on Clifton Country Road.
At the time, the 5,400-square-foot building was an f.y.e. music store, but Haines heard it might become available after the company’s lease expired.
The store closed in February 2008, part of a cost-cutting move by f.y.e.’s corporate parent, Albany-based Trans World Entertainment.
Before the closure, Trask had signed a letter of intent with the property owner, Story Real Estate in Ghent. He had expressed interest in buying the property, but the landlord wasn’t interested.
Trask said he spent more than $500,000 on renovations. Business has been strong since the restaurant opened in mid-July. It’s located on a busy road in the middle of the suburban town’s growing retail center.
The restaurant sells wood-fired pizza, pasta, wraps, tacos, sandwiches, salads and other fare. There’s also a full-service bar.
He employs about 70 people.
Trask operates two other Arizona Pizzas in western Massachusetts.
Haines wouldn’t disclose the lease rate but said similar restaurants in Clifton Park go for $17 to $30 per square foot, plus insurance, taxes and maintenance.
Arizona Pizza fills about two-thirds of the building. A tenant is being sought for the empty 1,800-square-foot space.
“I think good spaces go quickly,” Haines said. “This is a freestanding building sitting on top of the road with excellent signage.”
Across the country, vacant retail spaces large and small have been converted to house entirely different kinds of businesses, said Daniel Butler, vice president, retail operations, at the National Retail Federation.
“I think as a result of this economy, a lot of mall developers are reinventing themselves,” Butler said. “How can we be relevant? What are the best uses?”

A.P. Moller – Maersk has announced a new $821 million agreement with US-based warehousing and distribution company to boost its logistics and services.
Performance Team is a US company that specialises in B2B and B2C distribution solutions within retail, wholesale and e-commerce with 24 warehousing sites.
A.P. Moller – Maersk has now acquired Performance Team, strengthening its capabilities as an integrated container logistics company, offering end-to-end supply chain solutions to its customers.
The value of the transaction is USD 545m (approximately AU$821m) including IFRS 16 lease liabilities of around USD 225m.
Vincent Clerc, CEO of Ocean & Logistics at A.P. Moller – Maersk said Performance Team will complement its current Warehousing & Distribution proposition to customers in North America and will enable future growth.
“With this acquisition we invest in premium operational capabilities to significantly boost our existing Warehousing & Distribution offering. This will strengthen our ability to deliver products and solutions that meet our customers’ end-to-end supply chain needs,” Vincent said.
There is a significant growth opportunity for 3rd party Warehousing & Distribution players as only a small part of the Warehousing & Distribution sector in North America is currently outsourced and e-commerce is growing 12% annually in the US market.
The global size of the Warehousing & Distribution sector is estimated at more than USD 200bn (approximately AU$301bn).
Narin Phol, regional managing director of Maersk in North America said he is excited to strengthen the company’s e-commerce fulfillment capabilities since many of our retailers are looking to grow online retail sales in 2020 and beyond.
Performance Team is a family run business that began operations in 1987 in California, US. Today, the company operates 24 warehousing sites covering 800,000 square meters across multiple supply chain locations.
Craig Kaplan, CEO of Performance Team – who will remain CEO of Performance Team once the transaction closes said joining a global container logistics leader is the next step for the company’s growth.
“Maersk has a significant presence here in the US. They have a continuous improvement mindset like ours and together we can clearly deliver attractive logistics solutions that make our customers more competitive while ensuring our employees grow with the business,” he said.
The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and the transaction is expected to close 1 April 2020.

The observation made by the co-founder of Intel almost half a century ago has guided the meteoric progress of modern computing. But she might have reached the end of her potential. In any case, this is the opinion of the giant Nvidia.
How can our smartphones today be millions of times more powerful than the computer installed on the Apollo 11 lunar rocket? This is largely thanks to one of the fundamental rules of modern computing, but which is now the subject of intense debate among the main players in the sector: Moore’s law.
This “law” was devised in 1965 by Gordon Moore, at the time director of the Research & Development sector of Fairchild Semiconductor, and future co-founder of the electronics giant Intel. According to him, the number of transistors on a constant-size electronic chip was to double every year in the 1970s, a rate then reduced to every two years from the 1980s.
A rule that may seem complex, but whose effects are relatively simple to understand: the transistor is one of the basic elements of modern electronics, one of the famous semi-conductors that are ubiquitous today and whose shortage handicaps very many industrial sectors. If a machine contains more of them – because they have become smaller for example – then it can perform complex operations more quickly, and therefore be more powerful.
Having become one of the foundations of transhumanist hopes to digitize the brain, Moore’s law has nothing to do with a physical mechanism but rather an economic prediction, based on demand and competition between players in the sector.
Components 20,000 times thinner than a hair
And what only seemed like a wet-finger prediction has been verified historically: the number of transistors on a single electronic chip has increased exponentially for half a century. It has grown from 2,308 in 1971 to over 19 billion in 2017, according to data compiled by the Our World in Data website.
This is largely thanks to the miniaturization of components, the smallest of which today measure less than ten nanometers – for comparison, a hair is nearly 100,000 nanometers wide. Major electronic component makers, including Taiwan’s TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung, have been in a merciless miniaturization race for years: they can produce 5-nanometer transistors, and the South Korean has outstripped its opponent by shipping recently the first of the 3 nanometer chips. Intel, meanwhile, remains stuck at around 7 nanometers, according to CNBC.
But this frantic race could come up against physical limits. Below a certain size, we enter the domain of the infinitely small, which is governed by the rules of quantum physics. The electrons that move in the circuits could for example pass through the materials if they are too thin, because of the “quantum tunneling effect”, which poses new challenges.
The other problem is that the cost of each new advance is also exponential. The factory that TSMC is building in Arizona, to manufacture 5-nanometer chips from 2024, alone is expected to cost $12 billion, according to Reuters.
What future for Moore’s Law?
Intel claims, however, that the empirical law enacted by its co-founder is still valid. It must be said that the company, which intends to spend tens of billions of dollars (including 80 billion in Europe) to catch up in the race for miniaturization, has things to prove.
In particular, it is counting on new ultraviolet radiation lithography techniques and a new chip architecture (called RibbonFET) to accumulate ever-smaller transistors. With the goal of reaching “a trillion transistors on a single chip package by the end of the decade,” Intel boss Pat Gelsinger said at a new product launch in early October.
But others are more skeptical, like Nvidia, the graphics card giant whose chairman Jensen Huang explained to investors in September that “the push-through method with new transistors and advances in Moore’s Law have largely come to their term,” according to CNBC. And to decide: “Moore’s law is dead”.
This is why the electronics giants are also seeking to push back the current limits without necessarily going through the reduction of transistors. Among the processes studied, the quantum computer, which is based on the interaction of “qubits” – a quantum storage unit – and which must be thousands of times more powerful than a conventional computer. But despite the prototypes put forward by large companies such as Google or IBM, none of these machines has yet achieved its objective, due to the extreme complexity of this new playground. still cram transistors on chips for a few years.

Freshly cut Nordmann Fir trees, which have been sourced from Lovania Nurseries, will be available from Thursday, November 23, starting from £16.99.
The hand-selected trees have been grown in the north-east of Scotland and will be wrapped and delivered to all of Aldi’s 104 Scottish stores.
In order to keep things sustainable, Lovania will plant between two and four trees for every one felled.
Larger Nordmann Fir trees (6-7ft) will be priced at £24.99. Aldi recommends that customers ensure their tree is hydrated by keeping it in a bucket of water and letting the branches settle before decorating it with ornaments or baubles. It’s also best to keep trees away from radiators or any other heat source.
Graham Nicolson, Group Buying Director, Aldi Scotland, said: “We’re really pleased that we’re able to bring back our popular Scottish-grown Nordmann Fir Christmas trees this year, and to be offering some of the most affordable real Christmas trees on the market.”

TSI Australia Chief Urges Sales Channel Diversification in China
While speaking at the HPA summit 2018 in Shanghai, TSI Australia's contract manufacturing division head Ross Norris urged firms operating in China to diversify their sales channels.
Obtaining the approvals and registrations required to enter China's brick-and-mortar stores can take years, which is why many overseas brands sell products through cross-border e-commerce. Norris acknowledged that cross-border e-commerce "will not go away" but urged brands to "supplement cross-border trade with domestic trade". He believes that as regulations evolve, domestic manufacturing "will be an easy route and faster route to market, and will allow people to scale up much more effectively than international manufacturing".

Plymouth liquor store owners dispirited over new state law
With the support of the local community five years ago, Plymouth liquor store owners defeated discount giant Sam's Club from selling alcohol in the town's limits, a move the mom-and-pop shops said could put them out of business. But now, changes to the state liquor license law are once again threatening their livelihood.
Beginning this year, the new law allows the maximum number of alcohol licenses held by any retailer in the state to rise from three to five. The cap goes up to seven in 2016 and nine in 2020. This gives supermarkets and chain stores more opportunities to obtain licenses—competition that could ultimately harm many of Plymouth's 16 family-owned package stores.
"Inevitably, yes, this will affect us. There will be the same amount of people shopping for alcohol, but more competition," said Jay Sorcenelli, who has helped run his family's business, Cedarville Wine & Spirits, since 2004. "Anyone who owns a liquor store is going to suffer and that is fact, not speculation."
Sorcenelli said he is more concerned about chain liquor stores like Luke's Liquors and Kappy's Liquors expanding than he is about supermarkets selling alcohol. These stores pose such a threat because they buy from vendors in bulk at a cheaper price, which, in turn, allows them to sell for less. Sorcenelli said he is particularly worried about Arthur Luke's plan to open a Luke's Liquors just a few miles away in Bourne this May.
"People will travel farther to get these cheaper prices," Sorcenelli said.
Luke currently owns three stores on the Cape, and under the new law he intends to open two more, including the one in Bourne. While this frustrates some smaller liquor store owners, Luke said the legislation actually protects the mom-and-pop shops that have been "having a hard time" and have had to "do everything they can to survive."
He said the law was a compromise between package store owners like himself and large supermarket and convenience stores that were pushing the state to create a greater number of licenses. Because of the compromise, more often than not, large retailers will have to purchase existing licenses from package store owners, he said.
"This benefits the smaller stores because now they will have the opportunity to sell and get something for the years of hard work they have put into their stores," Luke said.
Still, many small store owners have not entertained the idea of selling. For owners like Russ Whiting, the store is a part of his life and family history.
"I've never thought of selling. I like working in the store everyday and talking to people and the freedom of being able to go on the computer or walk my dog," said Whiting, whose family has owned Mayflower Package Store in Manomet since it opened soon after Prohibition. "Plus, my son is interested in carrying on the business."
To date, Lisa Johnson, administrative assistant for the Town Manger's Office, said she has not received any new applications for liquor licenses. Perhaps buying owners more time, the Town cannot currently administer any additional full licenses because it is over the quota. However, Johnson said Plymouth does have nine available wine and malt licenses and owners said these beverages account for a large part of their revenue.
"As of right now, no one has applied, but I imagine we'll start to see some applications soon. It's tough to tell because who knows which locations companies will choose to sell alcohol."
Owners, too, said they are not sure what to expect. Most said they are not too concerned with the immediate impact, but worry about trickle-down effects the law will have over the next several years.
Tony Colantonio, who assistant manages Pilgrim Liquors, believed the available wine and malt licenses could lead to trouble for his store down the road. If more stores obtain these partial licenses, smaller ones may lose business and be forced to close their doors, he said.
"In two or three years when small stores go out of business, that's when I'll be very concerned. Licenses will become available and there's the possibility that BJ's across the street will get one or a new store will open up close by and that will definitely hurt us," he said.
Whiting said stores that obtain wine and malt licenses would damage his store just as much as those with full liquor licenses because beer and wine account for 60 percent of his business. He said he is "apprehensive" about whether his store will survive another generation.
"I'm more concerned about the kids. I'm not sure if the way things are going, the store will make it," said Whiting.

The statement confirmed speculation over the deal to buy the firm, whose product allows users to conduct video and telephone calls over the internet.
Microsoft confirmed that the deal is worth some $8.5 billion, dwarfing the $6 billion the US firm paid for online advertising firm aQuantive in 2007 and its largest acquisition since its founding in 1975.
The news of the pending deal has shocked analysts who consider the price to be a considerable premium for a firm which has consistently struggled to generate profit.
“It is going to be a very exciting year,” said Helena Nordman-Knutson, a telecom analyst at Öhman Fondkommission referring to the highly competitive global telecom market.
There are suggestions that Microsoft plans to integrate the service into its Xbox 360 games console, according to a report in the UK Guardian.
Microsoft were on Tuesday morning unwilling to comment on the report, Skype was meanwhile unavailable for comment.
Niklas Zennström founded Skype together with Dane Janus Friis in 2003 and the firm was declared one of the success stories of the early internet age when it was sold to US auction website Ebay for $3.1 billion in 2005.
Zennström and Friis shared around $2.5 billion from the deal.
Despite rapid growth in user numbers Ebay sold around 70 percent of the stock to a group of investors comprising of Silver Lake Partners, CPPIB, Andreessen Horowitz, and the original founders – returning Zennström and Friis a 14 percent stake in the firm.
While the number of people using Skype has grown in recent years, revenues remaining small due to the low numbers of users paying for services. The firm has posted losses in four of the last five years.
Previous rumours have circulated in May linking Skype to takeovers by Facebook and Google. In talks with these companies Skype has been valued to $3-4 billion.

Pet care will continue to benefit from the online retail sales boom during the pandemic, as the industry expects to record a 7 per cent growth by 2026, according to global market research company Euromonitor International.
Pet care sales soared by 8 per cent in 2020 with pet food, accessories, beauty and grooming categories benefiting the most from the pandemic with growth of 8.1 per cent, 10.3 per cent and 11.3 per cent, respectively.
“The pandemic accelerated ongoing channel shifts to eCommerce as owners avoided unnecessary trips to pet speciality channels,” said Jared Koerten, senior head of pet care research at Euromonitor International.
The premiumisation trend accelerated in 2020, seeing owners spending more per pet, due to significant spending cuts on travel and dining out. Australasia spent the most on food per dog and cat in 2020 (around USD 275), followed by North America (USD 211) and Western Europe (USD 182).
A larger pet population combined to higher income households willing to spend more also paved the way to premiumisation, shaping a new base of pet owners. “Pet ownership surged in North America, Western Europe and Australasia that had long seen sluggish pet population growth, but suddenly outperformed historic averages,” said Koerten.
With remote work policies spreading beyond 2021, it’s expected that more people will adopt pets. Time spent at home will enhance humanisation, as nearly 71 per cent of global respondents from Euromonitor’s Lifestyles survey mentioned viewing their pets as ‘beloved members of the family’ in 2021.

Record inflation and supply chain chaos defined 2022 for food processors and the overall food and beverage industry. While inflation isn’t as high as last year, it’s still lingering, most notably at the grocery store and in foodservice, where year-over-year inflation was 4.9% in July, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Consumer Price Index.
Ingredient and material availability for manufacturers remains inconsistent too, but processors have had a year to develop alternative supplier contacts and contingency plans when their primary sources can’t deliver, softening supply disruption a bit better than last year.
When it comes to labor and all its connected facets—an ever-dwindling pool of talent, unpredictable turnover rates, inexperienced staff, and more—not much has improved from last year despite a robust job market in manufacturing. Processors are more frequently turning to automation to help ease labor struggles, but the technology hasn’t arrived yet for a manufacturer to become fully automated overnight, no matter what a company’s capex budget is.
Staff shortages and inexperienced labor might also have its fingerprints on a number of troubling elements in the food industry, most notably, several high-profile food recalls over the past year. Consumers experience the front-facing aspect of recalls, but on the manufacturing side, some of these recalls could be rooted in an unstable processing workforce, where experienced employees who understand the importance of hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) rules, inspection, and sanitation may not be as plentiful today, and as a result, staff new to the field could be overlooking key steps that result in products going out the door that should not.
Outside of processing plants, construction firms all over the country are in dire need of labor, while the trucking industry has a huge deficit of drivers. That can all add up to delayed deliveries and stalled projects because there aren’t enough bodies to fill open jobs, especially as older workers continue to retire. Wherever there is a shortage of supplier and logistics staff outside the four walls of a plant, it can impact what happens inside a facility.
Another side effect of workforce availability and a shortage of experience is that some companies—particularly in the difficult-to-staff meat industry—might not have done due diligence in hiring and training themselves, or might have used contract labor services that are not entirely in line with U.S. labor laws. Some of the consequences of those oversights have resulted in even more government and public scrutiny of the food and beverage manufacturing industry.
While these are some of the macro effects of the ongoing labor shortage, staffing is just one element impacting the food and beverage processing industry. Here, we’ll drill down into other key areas, and how they affect operations through to consumers at the end.
Inflation’s continued impact
Last year at this time, our cover story highlighted inflation, due to double-digit rates not seen since the late 1970s/early 1980s. As mentioned earlier, consumers in 2023 are dealing with lower inflation at 4.9%, and the good news is the USDA predicts it to fall further in 2024 to around 2.8%. In the meantime, food manufacturers are still dealing with price spikes and unpredictability for ingredients in the global supply chain, due in part to the war in Ukraine and climate change.
Several food companies are seeing excellent top-line revenues in 2023—helped in part by continued high prices for groceries—but are not seeing their bottom lines measure up. This can be due to the cost of labor, and also production inefficiencies that can add additional expense to produce a product. Many manufacturers are turning to new equipment and the measurable data those machines produce to address their challenges. Some companies are also closing plants to centralize their supply chain and consolidate their workforce in an effort to shore up the bottom line.
An example of new equipment created to maximize savings overlooked on a production line is an adhesive melter I saw at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, used to glue cases of yogurt or other items before being shipped. In the past, an operator might not have kept tabs on how much adhesive they were using, or how much of it got overcooked and thrown out over the course of a year. However, through today’s cost-control lens, even adhesive is a budgetary item to scrutinize, so the new machine keeps track of the amount of glue used down to the gram, and only works on-demand, saving materials and energy.
One area that was booming during the pandemic and had a long tail of success afterwards is food and beverage e-commerce. However, as consumers seek bargains and reduce their spending on services this year, e-commerce grocery sales are down 7%, according to Brick Meets Click, from $7.8 billion to $7.2 billion year-over-year (YOY). “July’s [YOY] results reflect the growing financial challenges many consumers are facing today,” says David Bishop, partner at Brick Meets Click.
Another impact from inflation this year is the rapid rise of organized theft across all retail venues, including grocery stores, far beyond anything that was defined as shoplifting in recent years. The National Retail Federation’s annual Retail Security Survey shows $112 billion in losses due to theft in fiscal year 2022, up from $93.9 billion in 2021. Those numbers will likely be higher for fiscal year 2023.
Consequently, grocery stores have started locking up high-target items like ice cream and detergent behind glass cases, opening them only upon customer request. Circling back to this story’s labor theme, high-volume theft means stores not only need additional employees to oversee/open those glass cases, but also must hire extra security to protect the building and its assets. Inflation might be the excuse for retail theft, but the irony is inventory loss will be passed on to shoppers, keeping those prices high even when inflation subsides.
Plant-based food sales drop
Along with e-commerce grocery sales, another area hit by less consumer spending is the plant-based meat segment, which hasn’t reached price parity with traditional meat. As a result, consumers are currently bypassing the higher prices of plant-based meat. Some grocery stores have reacted to their slow-moving inventory by offering buy-one-get-one-free on plant-based meat products, which would have been unheard of in recent years.
“Through June 2023, Circana notes the average price per pound of refrigerated plant-based meats was $8.40, up 2.7% from the year-earlier period,” says Billy Roberts, senior economist, food and beverage at CoBank, in a plant-based meat report CoBank released in August. “For animal proteins, USDA expects for all of 2023 prices of beef and veal to increase 0.7%, poultry to grow 3.1%, and pork actually to drop 2.5%.” Circana also reported in July that plant-based meat sales had dropped 7.3% since the beginning of the year.
One person I spoke to recently in the alternative meat industry mentioned off the record that if they received government subsidies like the traditional meat sector, plant-based meats would be able to reach price parity sooner and sales would be steadier, and that it’s not entirely true that consumers are suddenly uninterested in alternative meat as a food source.
Cultivated meat gains approval
California-based cultivated meat brands Upside Foods and Good Meat were granted the final step of USDA approval in June to sell their chicken products commercially in restaurants and retail, and are the first two in the U.S. with that regulatory clearance. The companies had already received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as both USDA and FDA approval are needed in the U.S. to sell cultivated meat. Good Meat previously received approval to sell its chicken in Singapore in 2020, the only other country until now to do so.
While the expense of producing cultivated meat currently keeps it from reaching price parity with meat harvested from live animals—particularly the cost and availability of media to feed animal cells while they grow in tanks—two high-profile restaurateurs have partnered with the companies to sell cultivated chicken on their menus. Chef Dominique Crenn will serve Upside’s chicken at her Bar Crenn in San Francisco, and Chef José Andrés will serve Good Meat’s chicken at his China Chilcano restaurant in Washington, D.C.
|See the technology poised to mitigate the industry-wide CO2 shortage.|
Generally speaking, cultivated meat is grown from primary animal cells in cultivators similar to fermentation tanks for breweries, with some companies using edible scaffolding made of substances like soy or algae, for cells to latch onto and grow into an undefined piece of meat. Because cultivated meat doesn’t grow into specific animal parts, like chicken legs or thighs, for example, the finished mass of meat is formed later into whatever the company wants to sell, like nuggets, tenders, or even whole-muscle slabs.
Watch for more USDA/FDA approval in this space over the next year, particularly in the cultivated seafood segment.
Investment in emerging brands wanes
Plant-based brand Tattooed Chef, which started in 2017 and had reached wide distribution across grocery and wholesale outlets, including Costco, filed for bankruptcy this year as sales of plant-based foods dropped, cost of materials rose, and investors pulled away from funding the company. Tattooed Chef is an example of a newer brand—plant-based or otherwise—that relies on investors to get through financial rough patches like 2023, and this year, investment across the industry in startup and emerging brands has fallen.
At the recent Global Midwest Alliance conference in Chicago, I spoke to Shayna Harris, co-founder and managing partner at Supply Change Capital, about the market conditions for startups and emerging CPG brands, how she approaches this segment of the industry as an investor, and also how she knows when it’s time to stop funding a company.
“We do initial checks at pre-seed and seed stage, and then in select instances, we’ll follow with capital,” she explains. “We’re not set up to write the first check all the way to the last check as a $40 million fund. So, we’ve got a diversified portfolio strategy, and with each check, we’re evaluating as if it was a new investment opportunity. Initially, that’s the fear to make an investment today vs. making a new investment in a totally fresh company with a different business plan. Obviously, the comparative set shifts year to year based on what companies you’re evaluating, market dynamics, and pricing for early-stage companies. We’re evaluating each time and it’s delicate and challenging, because when you’re investing early stage in food and food technology, what you need is a combination of equity and debt. And that can be difficult unless you already have equipment to finance or other assets that you can either finance or borrow against.”
Harris mentioned one company in her portfolio that didn’t succeed very early on. “It was really frustrating,” she says. “It was at a time where they were about to close their Series A funding and then the market turned. So, had that been a different market environment or a year or two earlier, we think the outcome would have been different.”
While global brands like PepsiCo, General Mills, Cargill, Kraft Heinz, JBS and others publicized their corporate sustainability initiatives this year in areas like recycling, the circular economy, energy-efficient factories, methane gas conversion, reducing beef emissions, phasing out plastic use, moving to paperboard packaging, and more, 2023 has been the year where some sustainability goals set years prior and earmarked for completion timelines like 2025 may have been underestimated, and might serve as a lesson for current and future sustainability goal setting.
At the interpack show earlier this year in Düsseldorf, Germany, I watched a panel of global sustainability experts unanimously agree that global recycling initiatives for CPG packaging were nowhere close to meeting a previously set 2025 goal, and doubted those goals would be accomplished on time. Those on the panel also mentioned that a combination of wildly different rules and guidelines from state to state in the U.S., coupled with general consumer indifference to do the work it takes to recycle properly (like separating materials into different bins), and the overall lack of a proven business model to invest in recycling infrastructure and make it profitable, means it’s unlikely some near-term recycling goals will be met.
|See two future trends to watch for food facility drains.|
The panel concluded that broadly defined sustainability goals—which look good on paper—are not as effective as working within a “silo of sustainability” with a clear focus on one objective to help achieve those ambitious goals on time.
From a consumer standpoint, consulting firm Kearney reported the emerging awareness of “climavorism,” which can be defined as shoppers making conscious choices about what food and beverage they buy based on climate impacts in producing/distributing those products, with the overall intent of benefitting the planet through their purchases. Kearney mentioned that inflation has slowed down the adoption of climavorism this year, but predicts it will gain momentum again when prices return to normal.
Plant construction pipeline
Several food and beverage plants are slated to begin construction or expansion this year, including:
· Upside Foods is building a $140 million, 187,000-sq-ft cultivated meat plant in Glenview, Ill. It’s Upside’s first commercial facility since gaining USDA approval to sell cultivated meat in the U.S. No timetable has been announced for construction.
· JBS is building its first commercial-scale cultivated meat plant in San Sebastian, Spain, for $41 million. The plant—expected to open in 2024—will have the capability of producing 1,000 metric tons of cultivated meat per year, with room to expand to 4,000 metric tons.
· A subsidiary of Ferrero Group (Wells Enterprises) plans to double the size of its Dunkirk, N.Y., manufacturing facility, where frozen treats like Blue Bunny ice cream and Bomb Pop are made. The expansion is scheduled to be finished in 2025.
· Anheuser-Busch is investing $22.5 million into its Houston brewery, upgrading the facility’s internal systems to improve energy efficiency and workplace safety. Work on a new cooling system as part of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
· Heineken Mexico is building a $460 million greenfield brewery in Yucatán, with construction scheduled to be finished by 2026.
· Campbell Soup is investing $160 million at its Richmond, Utah, plant to expand production of Goldfish snack crackers by 5 million per hour and double the bakery’s output by 50%. The project is expected to be completed in 2024.
Mergers and acquisitions
Among the biggest announcements at the corporate level of food and beverage manufacturing was Kellogg splitting its business into two separate entities: a snacking brand called Kellanova, and a cereal brand called WK Kellogg Co.
Kellogg was a rare example of a company expanding internally, while much of the industry was growing through mergers and acquisitions. Here are some of the most prominent M&As in 2023 so far:
· Campbell Soup purchased Sovos Brands, maker of Rao’s pasta sauces, for $2.7 billion.
· Anheuser-Busch sold eight beer and beverage brands to cannabis company Tilray Brands for an undisclosed amount. The beverage brands acquired by Tilray include Shock Top, Breckenridge Brewery, and Redhook Brewery.
· Keurig Dr. Pepper paid $300 million to acquire 33% of La Colombe Coffee Roasters.
· Molson Coors acquired Blue Run Spirits for an undisclosed sum.
· In the grocery industry, Aldi acquired 400 Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket locations in the southeast U.S. for an undisclosed amount.
· In foodservice, Subway was sold to Roark Capital for just over $9 billion.
· Marie’s and Dean’s dips—both part of Ventura Foods—were sold to Brynwood Partners for an undisclosed price. The brands will become part of Brynwood’s West Madison Foods.
· Plant-based company Livekindly Collective acquired plant-based brand Alpha Foods. Financial terms were not announced.
· Lactalis Canada bought dessert brand Marie Morin Canada. Financial terms were not disclosed.
