Cadbury surrenders to foreign takeover
Activer le mode zenIan King
"The iconic British chocolate manufacturer Cadbury fell last night to an £11.7 billion takeover by the US food conglomerate Kraft.
"The deal, struck after hours of negotiations, brings to a conclusion one of the most fiercely contested takeover battles the City has seen in recent years.
"It also ends a proud history for Cadbury as an independent company. The chocolate maker, famous for brands such as Dairy Milk and Wispa, dates back to 1824 when John Cadbury, a Birmingham Quaker, began selling cocoa-based drinks in his tea and coffee emporium.
"The takeover which Lord Mandelson, the Business Secretary, had strongly opposed is likely to be seen as something of a landmark in the British corporate sector."
