Top fruit supplier Freshmax on sale for $500m

Maui Capital, a kiwi private equity firm, has announced that it is looking to sell its Freshmax business in a deal that could total a whopping $500 million. Street Talk reported that Muai has hired Goldman Sachs investment bank to value, market and manage the sale.

While Freshmax's owners are looking for a straight sale first, they have also suggested that they are open to an initial public offering. While not on the same scale, industry experts have compared Freshmax to the $1.1 billion sale of Costa back in 2015.

Maui Capital bought a majority stake in Freshmax back in 2011 in a deal that left most former management in place, and they are now looking to reap the benefits, according to S&P Capital IQ. Freshmax is a company which imports, distributes and wholesales fresh produce including apples and pears and supplies them locally in Australia and abroad.
