Carman's acquires snacking brand Fruit Wise

The founder of Australian business Carman’s, Carolyn Creswell, has announced the acquisition of family-owned snacking brand Fruit Wise.

“After a year of discussions, our unparalleled similarities and outlook on healthy snacking helped us finalise what is now Carman’s first ever acquisition. It’s truly a moment that I'm so proud of and I just can’t wait to watch Carman’s continue to grow,” Creswell said.

The two family-owned businesses will now be joined in producing 100% Australian owned and manufactured snacking products.

The Managing Director of Fruit Wise, Bridget Beal, said, “After speaking with Carolyn we knew straight away that this was the right move for Fruit Wise. We’ve been family owned for 15 years, so wanted to make sure we were passing over the reins to someone just like Carolyn, who shared the same outlook about delicious and healthy snacking and looking after Aussie families. We can’t wait to watch Fruit Wise grow under the care of Carman’s!”

After the acquisition, Fruit Wise will continue to operate in its current location in the Adelaide Hills.
