With the acqusition, Kavli will “strengthen” its foothold in the Finnish and Swedish markets, by entering a new category, the company said.
For its part, Raisio indicated that the deal was part of its strategy to focus on core operations. Last month, Raisio CEO Matti Rihko told just-food that the firm intended to drive growth in healthy snacking while improving efficiency to boost margins.
