Shai Babad, CEO and President of Strauss Group: “The first quarter of 2026 continues the positive momentum that began in 2025, and reflects the implementation of the Group’s strategy. In Q1 we remained focused on our coffee JV operations in Brazil and in CEE, and made progress with the turnaround of the confectionery business in Israel. We continued to invest in growth engines, in innovation and in the development of our plant-based milk substitutes, alongside the acquisition of Yoki by 3corações in Brazil – a strategic step that expands our JV presence in Brazil beyond coffee. In Israel, we restored profitability of our confectionery business. Importantly, we delivered volume growth across all our key activities in Q1, and opened 2026 with a solid foundation looking ahead.”
