Woolworths buying its biggest supplier of 30 years, earning over R5 billion a year

• Woolworths has announced that all regulatory processes for its acquisition of In2Foods are complete.
• The deal, which would see Woolworths purchase one of its longtime suppliers, was first announced in March 2026. In2Foods generates approximately R5 billion in annual revenue. The large merger classification was due to In2Foods being a major company in South Africa's food industry.
• The Commission recommended that the deal be approved, with conditions, at the start of September.
