Super Cubes is an Australian consumer lifestyle health and wellness brand with national distribution in Woolworths, 400 independent supermarkets, and an online presence with more than 15,000 unique visits to the Super Cubes website per month.
In FY19, Super Cubes’ first full 12 months of trading, the business realized sales of approximately A$650,000 (US$444,000).
Keytone said the strategic acquisition accelerates Keytone’s growth into high value, high margin proprietary products, and will be funded by existing cash reserves and the issuance of equity with no capital raise required.
Keytone’s chairman, Peter James, said, “The acquisition of Super Cubes demonstrates swift and clear execution of the branded product growth strategy following the acquisition of Omniblend. Super Cubes is a growing brand in the health and wellness sector with impeccable health credentials and a growing distribution footprint.
“It is well positioned for rapid growth domestically and internationally, given its first-class product portfolio, existing penetration in distribution channels and senior executive talent.
“The acquisition offers a number of synergistic benefits, not least of which is the effective overnight implementation of a senior branded sales team to drive sales in both the Super Cubes product portfolio as well as other Omniblend branded products, including the Tonik range.”

“Further, Keytone will be able to leverage its existing distribution channels in core markets, including China, to grow the Super Cubes brand internationally executing on the early-mover advantage in the health and wellness sector globally.”
