Nordic Capital- and Cidron-backed Cloetta AB has acquired UK-based candy company Goody Good Stuff.

Cloetta acquired Goody Good Stuff from a group of investors for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition will have a limited effect on Cloetta's future operating profit, according to the company.

Cloetta acquired Goody Good Stuff in order to broaden its product range within the natural candy segment.
