Acquisition of Base Organic Food by Natimpact
December 2023 — Groupe Natimpact has acquired Base Organic Food.
Natimpact was co-founded in 2019 by two entrepreneurs with the aim of creating a federation of French SMEs in organic and sustainable food. The group has expanded through the successive acquisitions of Naturgie (organic gourmet jams) in 2019, Bovetti (organic creative chocolatier) in 2020 and Le Coq Noir (organic sauces and world products) in 2021.
Founded in 2015, Base Organic Food is an SME company with 25 employees specializing in the production and distribution of 100% organic food (nuts, seeds, cereals, and exotic fruits). The company sells in bulk and has also developed a range of packaged grocery products, distributed through specialized organic networks.
Charif Benabderrahmane is the founder of Base Organic Food. He sold 100% of his shares in the company and reinvested part of his proceeds in Natimpact.
