The company is a trusted partner to industrial customers and consumers worldwide, guided by its “Food for Life” philosophy.

WHY DID WE INVEST IN HOCHDORF?
- HSN is a critical part of the supply chain for the Swiss milk industry, which itself is a highly important part of the Swiss economy
The asset was being divested by a financially distressed parent and required significant restructuring. AS Equity Partners was uniquely positioned to support this turnaround, given our Swiss heritage, restructuring capabilities, and operating partner expertise, including the former Managing Director of Europe’s largest dairy factory
- HSN combines market-leading quality in infant nutrition with an established route to international markets, providing a strong platform for future growth
