Gravity Solutions Global has announced the acquisition of New Zealand-based fruit and juice ingredients producer, Roxdale Foods Limited, for A$1.18m ($0.89m).

US-based beverage company S&D Coffee will be acquired by Cott Corporation under a definitive agreement signed between the two companies for $355m.

"S&D Coffee will be acquired by Cott Corporation."

S&D Coffee is a coffee roaster that also produces customised coffee, tea and extract solutions. Cott sees synergistic opportunities through the acquisition, such as expanding the distribution platform of its existing coffee business by adding in-house production processes.

The S&D Coffee business post acquisition will continue to be led by its current chief executive officer (CEO) Ron Hinson, who will join Cott along with his existing leadership team.
