In June 2011 it was announced that Findus Group would take back direct responsibility for sales and marketing of the Findus brand in Spain, which it had previously licensed to Ardo in 2005. In November 2015, Findus in all markets excluding the UK was sold to "Nomad Foods", former "Nomad Holding", which had already purchased "Iglo Group", former "Birds Eye", in June that year. Findus' UK operations remained alongside Young's under the ownership of investors led by Lion Capital. In February 2016, Young's confirmed it would discontinue use of the Findus brand in the UK, replacing it with "Chef's Classic" and "Original Pancake Co."
