The proposed sale includes the reis-fit brand marketed in Germany and Austria and ris-fix sold in Denmark, which have combined revenues of over €27m.


When announcing the deal in April, Kraft said the transaction reflects the company’s strategy of focusing on the growth of its leading brands in its core categories.
