Orkla Foods has signed an agreement to acquire a 40% ownership stake in Go-Tan, a leading European brand within Asian sauces. Go-Tan is a well established, family owned Dutch business, founded by a Chinese Indonesian family more than 70 years ago.   The transaction strengthens Orkla Foods’ position in sauces, one of its key growth platforms, and marks a strategic step in expanding its presence in the fast growing Asian sauces market. With a strong brand, solid European footprint and a proven growth track record, Go-Tan is well positioned for further international expansion.   The partnership combines the entrepreneurial spirit of the Go-Tan family with Orkla Foods’ expertise in scaling strong consumer brands across markets. The completion of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals, including approval from the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets, and is expected to take place in the second half of 2026.   Houthoff advised Orkla Foods on all Dutch law aspects of the transaction. The team was led by Angenita Pex and further consisted amongst others of Ageeth Panman, Thomas de Weerd, Myrthe Prinsze, Tijn Schellekens, Tom Stijns, Sander Peperkamp, Lotte van Maren, Sjors Panis, Selma de Jong, Gerrit Oosterhuis, Felix Geerebaert and Anne Steenkamp.
