Gasto Primo specialises in supplying food service companies, catering establishments and restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau.


CEO Ágúst Gudmundsson said: “We see opportunities in co-operation with our existing Chinese businesses that will further support our expansion and future growth in China.”


Bakkavör has an option to buy the remaining 52% of the business in 2010.


The move is the Bakkavör’s third acquisition this year. In January, the Iceland-based group made its first move into the US, with the acquisition of Two Chefs on a Roll, a Californian fresh and frozen prepared foods supplier.
