Cultor aikoo myyd leipomotoimintansa
Article Abstract:
Finland's Cultor plans to sell its bakery operations. However, negotiations are not yet underway. Cultor wishes to concentrate on food and feed improvements. Bakery operations account for under 20% of Cultor turnover and profit. The refining value of improvements is high, thus they are more profitable than bread. Cultor is negotiating on purchase of two improvement companies. Cultor does not expect Fazer to be interested in Cultor's Vaasa Bakeries. Moreover, Cultor bakery operations are not expected to be divided among several buyers. Fazer says their interest towards Vasa Bakeries is rather weak. Their operations are highly overlapping, thus joining them would seem unnecessary.
