Permira completed its acquisition of Hana Group, a global provider of freshly prepared sushi “on the go” through its 900 points of sale in grocery retailers across 12 markets, from TA Associates, for $574m. “Global demand for sushi is growing, driven by consumers’ demand for healthy and convenient meals. At the same time, retailers are looking to introduce more theatre and experience into their stores. With its in-store chefs preparing fresh sushi, Hana addresses both of these trends. We believe that Hana’s relentless focus on innovation, customer service and consumer experience, will continue to fuel growth and increasingly strategic collaboration with retail partners,” Tara Alhadeff, Permira Principal in Global Consumer Team.
