40 acquisitions in November

Richard Hall13 Dec 2011

40 more food and drink transactions found their way onto the BevBlog Database in November.

The biggest was a $1,300m outlay by Japanese brewer Kirin for the second half of Brazil’s Schincariol, though a soft drinks transfer between PepsiCo and Tingyi in China could prove to be of greater consequence.

Overall, 26 of the 40 deals crossed borders. 21 involved the US, seven the UK, five France, four China, three each Brazil and Japan.

14 were in food, 13 in alcohol, seven in soft drinks and three in ingredients.
