Plan to enter US through acquisitions

GREENCORE is planning to enter the US chilled food market through acquisitions.

Greencore said it is actively looking at target companies in the US but would not disclose how much it plans to invest getting a “footprint” in the world’s biggest grocery market.

“You will see the execution, albeit modestly, at the beginning of our US chilled food strategy as we put down our first footprint in the US market,” Greencore chief executive David Dilger said yesterday.
