Intertaste to acquire Caldic's Belgian herbs and spices busines

Intertaste has agreed to acquire Caldic’s herbs, spices, dried vegetables and seasonings business in Belgium for an undisclosed sum, the company has said.

Netherlands-headquartered Intertaste said the deal would strengthen its position in the Belgian, French and Dutch markets and expand its product offering.

Caldic said the divestment of its herbs and spices business would allow it to focus on its wide-ranging value-added food ingredients business.

The transaction is expected to close on April 20, 2015.
