The deal includes Centroproizvod’s “iconic” C brand, Nestle said and the company’s factory in Surcin in the Serbian capital Belgrade.
Marco Travaglia, the head of Nestle’s operations in the Adriatic, said: “This acquisition is a strategic move to strengthen Nestle’s presence in the region. Centroproizvod’s product portfolio is complementary to ours and the local production in Surcin with its distribution capabilities is a great asset for us.”
Centroproizvod is expected to post sales of almost CHF30m (US$35.3m) in 2011, Nestle said.
