The skyr yogurt producer will remain a standalone company under its current leadership team.
The France-based Lactalis Group agreed to acquire siggi's — a New York-headquartered maker of Icelandic-style skyr yogurts with "simple ingredients, not a lot of sugar" — for an undisclosed price.
siggi's was founded by Siggi Hilmarsson who, after moving to the United States from his native Iceland, began making yogurt in his kitchen because he found American yogurt too sweet and full of extra ingredients. The recipe was based on skyr, the Icelandic-style yogurt Siggi grew up eating in his native Iceland, the companies noted.
