Panrico has moved to restructure its balance sheet as it looks to stabilise its business.

In 2010, the firm’s creditors took control of the heavily-indebted group. Since then, Oaktree has increased its stake in the company in stages by buying up Panrico’s debt.

Panrico has also restructured its industrial operations to reduce its cost structure, while also increasing its focus on value-added brands.

This strategic direction remains “unchanged”, a spokesperson said.
