Ownership
Atrium Innovations since 2004; Nestle acquired Atrium for $2.3bn, announced 2017-12-05. Nestle has said it intends to keep this brand in its VMS review.
Why Watchlist
Quality signals intact and Nestle has signalled it is a keeper, but the entire Nestle VMS unit has been under strategic review since July 2025, so the owner is not a settled fact.
