Veganz has acquired the brands and production site of fellow German plant-based company Happy Cheeze, a producer of vegan cheese alternatives.

Veganz, based in Berlin, was founded in 2011 as a fully vegan supermarket chain. It now has an extensive line of its own products spanning multiple categories including bakery, meat and seafood alternatives and plant-based cheese.

Yesterday, the company announced it would acquire significant parts of the insolvent Happy Cheeze company, including its 1,000 m2 production site in Cuxhaven, Germany.

Happy Cheeze produces plant-based cheese alternatives under the brand name Dr Mannah’s, with a product portfolio of 13 products including cashew-based alternatives to camembert, parmesan, and cheese spreads. Its products are sold online, in organic specialty stores and international food retailers.

Through the deal, Veganz is expanding product range, distribution channels and production capacities in the area of plant-based cheese alternatives.

The Plant Base has approached the companies for comment.
