Royal Oak Charcoal Joins Whole Earth Brands, Forms CPG Group Sweet Oak

The acquisition of Whole Earth Brands was completed earlier this month, which saw it go from being a public company through a SPAC, then back to being private. The company that performed the acquisition was Sweet Oak, which is a new collection of brands formed by investment firms Mariposa Capital and Rhône Capital.

Whole Earth Brands houses food based brands such as Whole Earth, Pure Via, Wholesome, Swerve, Canderel and Equal. It will join charcoal producer Royal Oak under the Sweet Oak umbrella.
