Monty’s Bakehouse, based in Surrey, near London, was established in 2003 and provides sandwiches, baked snacks and desserts to airlines. It has offices in the United Arab Emirates and manufacturing facilities in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

It has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SATS Investments, which is in turn wholly owned by SATS. 

SATS said the purchase will be funded through internal resources and paid in cash. 

It said it intends to bring products and capabilities from Monty’s Bakehouse to its customers in Asia in order to meet the growing demand for buy-on-board meals and snacks.
