Bridor, a subsidiary of Le Duff Group, has acquired organic and artisanal bakery product-maker Pandriks Holding B.V.
The acquisition of Pandriks will consolidate Bridor’s foothold in North-Western Europe, expand its production capacity, and bolster its product portfolio, particularly in the organic bakery segment, the company noted.
Philippe Morin, worldwide CEO of Bridor, stated, “The acquisition of Pandriks is consistent with Bridor’s strategy. It gives us the opportunity to take a leading position in key markets, such as the Netherlands and Germany.
“This acquisition will also strengthen our teams, with the highly experienced, qualified and motivated people from Pandriks joining Bridor. Pandriks will bring to life the Bridor purpose: ‘Share the bakery cultures of the world.’”
