Its agreement with Society Brands is structured to allow the founding team of Crunchi to remain involved in the brand's direction while gaining access to the operational resources and scaling expertise of the larger parent company.
The move to acquire Crunchi is presented as part of Society Brands' broader strategy to build a portfolio focused on the health and personal care market.
