Keurig Dr Pepper said it has struck a partnership with La
Colombe through which the beverage giant will take a 33% stake in
the maker of ready-to-drink coffee.
Keurig said it will invest $300 million in La Colombe, valuing
the company at some $900 million. The deal will make Keurig La
Colombe's second-largest shareholder, only behind Chairman Hamdi
Ulukaya, the chief executive of yogurt maker Chobani.
The two companies have also struck a sale-and-distribution deal
through which Keurig will sell and distribute La Colombe drinks
across its network. Keurig will also make, sell and distribute La
Colombe-branded K-cup coffee pods under a licensing agreement that
covers the U.S. and Canada.
"This partnership will enable KDP to expand its reach into high
growth ready-to-drink and super premium coffee segments and will
meaningfully increase La Colombe's availability to consumers,"
Keurig Chief Executive Bob Gamgort said.
