While Hormel clearly has big plans for Skippy, Unilever will be hoping that an increased focus will benefit its food portfolio. In part one of our two-part analysts, Katy Askew looks at how Hormel hopes the deal will benefit its bottom line.http://www.just-food.com/analysis/hormels-acquisition-of-skippy_id121626.aspx?utm_source=company-feed&utm_medium=rss-feed&utm_campaign=rss-feed&utm_content=hormel-foodsFri, 04 Jan 2013 13:48:00 GMTNews that Unilever has sold its Skippy peanut butter brand comes as little surprise. The well-flagged disposal follows a number of divestments in the packaged food space.
