ICL (TASE: ICL), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Hagesüd Group (“Hagesüd”), a German producer of premium spice blends and food ingredients for meat processing. Following the acquisition, Hagesüd will become part of ICL Food Specialties.
The transaction includes all of the operating assets of the Hemmigen, Germany-based company, including Hagesüd’s existing business, state-of-the-art production technology and warehouse facilities located in Hemmigen, Dortmund and Ottensoos, Germany with about 200 employees.
