SATS acquires 49% stake in JV company for $17m

SATS BRF Food will be renamed Country Foods and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group.

Food solutions and gateway services firm SATS has acquired the remaining 49% shareholding in its joint venture company, SATS BRF Food (SBRF) from BRF GmbH (BRF) for $17m, an announcement revealed.

This will allow SBRF to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SATS Food Services and be renamed Country Foods.

This acquisition is said to be in line with SATS’ goal to become a leading central kitchen supplier to the food service industry in China and India.

Furthermore, Country Foods has signed an exclusive distribution and licensing agreement with BRF Global GmbH to distribute products and the right to license brands owned by BRF S.A. in Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
