Plant-based food group LiveKindly Collective has partnered with Tindle Foods to manufacture and distribute the brand’s products across foodservice and online channels in the US, Germany and UK. Tindle, best known for its plant-based chicken alternative product, has a strong presence in the foodservice category. The company recently announced plans to divest its US operations amid a move to focus exclusively on private label products for the European market. This marked a shift in Tindle’s core business strategy, aiming to redirect its resources toward creating affordable and innovative unbranded products. In a statement announcing the partnership, LiveKindly Collective said it aims to strengthen its offering in the respective markets through the deal, further building on the group’s recent profit-turning momentum. Since its inception in 2020, LiveKindly Collective has acquired multiple plant-based brands including Like in Germany, Fry’s in South Africa, Oumph in the Nordics, and NoMeat in the UK. The company has also invested in modernising three factories in Oss, the Netherlands; Stora Levene, Sweden; and Pinetown, South Africa. Following the launch of its B2B and Private Label Solutions business streams nearly two years ago, LiveKindly has rapidly expanded production and now ships worldwide to 19 countries across five continents. In 2024 alone, the B2B business reported 48% growth, with a projected increase of 120% in 2025. David Suarez, CEO of LiveKindly Collective, said: “Until recently we have been focused on growing organically by utilising our assets, with brands and B2B production leading the charge, but being financially secure allowed us to explore inorganic growth opportunities, too”. He added: “We are enthusiastic about the partnership with Tindle. This move represents a considerable opportunity, and we are ready to tap into it and bring tasty plant-based protein to people on a bigger scale, through foodservice and emerging channels.”
