Migros sold its French subsidiary Idhéa to GYMA

Migros, Switzerland’s largest retail company, sold its French subsidiary Idhéa to GYMA.

Idhéa was created in 2013 in Hochfelden from the merger of two companies, La Case aux Épices (1971) and Saveurs et Sauces (1984). For more than 50 years, ldhéa has developed, manufactured, and packaged sauces and spices for the catering trade, the food industry, and European supermarkets. In addition, it supplies the Migros supermarkets with a highly appreciated range of products which will continue to be offered after the sale.

GYMA was founded in 1992. With three industrial sites in France and Germany, backed by solid culinary expertise and a strong customer service culture, GYMA has become the French leader in cold sauces for the catering and food service industry. In 2022, thanks to its strategic alliance with COMEXO and its modern production site, the group established itself as a major and key player in the sauce sector in Western Europe, also operating in the mass retail and co-packing segments.

Clairfield International acted as exclusive financial advisor to the seller.
