Investments, Acquisitions and Funding

The newly integrated headquarters and technical centre bring Malaysia offices and laboratory facilities together under one roof to better serve customers across Food & Nutrition, Beauty & Personal Care, and Home Care I&I business groups.

Under the terms announced by Eshbal, the deal transfers majority ownership and certain operating assets of D2BD to Eshbal, positioning the Canadian firm to leverage D2BD’s existing product lines, retail relationships and manufacturing know how as it pursues broader North American distribution.

The purchase adds Arbor’s scale and category depth through Furlani’s established brands and private label capabilities, while preserving the company’s operational leadership and existing management team.

The center brings together advanced processing, formulation, blending and analytical capabilities to accelerate product development and technical problem-solving across a wide range of applications.

The deal brings into Eshbal’s portfolio a commercial bakery known for breads, rolls, muffins and sweet goods sold across retail, foodservice and e-commerce channels, and is presented as a strategic step to enhance capacity and product breadth ahead of the company’s 2026 to 2028 roadmap.
