Kerry acquires ingredients firm

KERRY GROUP has acquired a German-owned sweet ingredients company.

It said that this deal is unlikely to mark the end of its buying activity for the current year.

The Tralee-headquartered international food giant yesterday announced the purchase of Hochheim-based SuCrest GmbH; a pan-European leader in the area of sweet ingredient provision to the bakery, ice cream, confectionery, cereal and snack sectors of the food industry.
