  • Goya Foods

Hispanic food company Goya Foods is said to be in late-stage talks to sell a majority stake to The Carlyle Group in a deal that would value the food giant at roughly US$3.5 billion, The New York Post reported. This is the second time, in less than five months, that the possible sale of Goya Foods has been reported. However, Goya Foods CEO and President Bob Unanue stated the company “is not for sale,” according to ROI-NJ. The food company is owned by the Unanue family.Despite Goya’s CEO´s statements, CNBC reported that Goldman Sachs had sent financial materials to private equity firms, something that companies do not usually do for estate planning purposes.As the exploratory sales process continued, the New York Post adds, Unanue also made clear its desire to maintain control of the fourth-generation family business, even in the case of a sale that leaves private equity companies as the only logical buyers.The plan is for Unanue to remain CEO after the buyout, according to The New York Post.
