8th November 2010 Mergers & Acquisitions

JUST 17 ACQUISITIONS IN OCTOBER

Acquisition activity in October fell to less than half the level of August and September. Compared with 81 deals in the previous two months, I recorded just 17 in October.

7 of these were in the dairy sector, 4 in alcohol. Most were international, involving 20 countries. The United States and France participated in 4 each, with New Zealand the next most prolific on 3.

The biggest transaction was completion of the previously announced US formation of AdvancePierre Foods.
