The new company, which will first be focused on marketing Danone’s LU biscuit brand on the Egyptian market, aims eventually to sell fresh dairy products, biscuits and beverages throughout Egypt and other countries in the Near and Middle East.
Danone explained that plans are in place to gradually expand the venture through acquisitions and projects on a region-by-region basis.
