ITC to bid for spice king "Patak’s"

ITC Foods is likely to put in a formal bid for Britain’s popular pickles and Indian curries brand, Patak’s. Heinz, which already has a partnership with Patak’s, could also be interested in the company, said sources.

potential partners or buyers.

According to information with ET, the tobacco major has been approached by Patak’s investment banker NM Rothschild with a proposal.A decision will be taken once the company has studied the details,” said people close to ITC.
