Investment group S-Ventures has acquired plant-based nutrition company Pulsin for £7.5 million.  

Pulsin, which specialises in healthy protein bars, Keto bars and nutritional snacks, had gross sales of approximately £7.05 million in the twelve months to April 30 2021, and approximately £1.2 million of net debt at that date. 

S-Ventures said the acquisition will add “significantly” to its interests in the health and wellness foods marketplace following acquisitions earlier this year of a probiotic chocolate brand, Ohso chocolate, and a plant-based snacking brand, We Love Purely. 

The entire team at the company will be welcomed to S-Ventures, with Simon Ashburner k ng his position on the board as Pulsin’s managing director.
