Private-equity firm Perwyn has acquired UK-based halal meat brand Takul from Stonehouse Foods for an undisclosed sum.

London-headquartered Perwyn has completed the deal through its portfolio Isla Délice brand, a France-based halal business.

Takul, which has a product portfolio of ready-meals, pizzas, pasties and sliced meats, was launched in 2022 by Stonehouse Foods, a UK-based supplier of world foods. Takul products are listed in Tesco and Sainsbury’s.

The acquisition adds the UK to Isla Délice’s existing markets of France, Belgium and Spain. The French brand was snapped up by Perwyn in 2018 when the private-equity firm bought its owner Ambre Délice.

Heinz Holsten, partner at Perwyn and board member of Isla Délice, said: “We at Isla Délice and Perwyn are delighted to bring the group’s longstanding FMCG halal expertise to the UK.

“The combination of Isla Délice’s rich halal heritage and its professional FMCG approach makes it well positioned to accelerate the halal consumer offering in the UK.”

Perwyn will “continue to support Takul in parallel to launching Isla Délice products in the UK”, according to a statement. It added that Tesco is a “perfect example of this joint approach” with a current portfolio of 40 SKUs across both brands.

Eric Fauchon, Isla Délice CEO, said: “Stonehouse Foods has done a great job in bringing innovation and modernity to the UK halal market with Takul.

“Together with Isla Délice’s chilled and frozen products, we are very confident that this large and modern halal portfolio is the perfect combination to attract consumers and to take the UK halal market to the next level.”

Perwyn announced fresh investment into UK-based Italian food products manufacturer Crosta & Mollica earlier this year.

Crosta & Mollica, which distributes its products via the major UK supermarket chains, said the investment from Perwyn will support its international expansion plans, as well as help to maintain its growth within the UK, with “product innovation, customer service and brand investment”.
