Treasury selects investor for exclusive talks on Rolimpex

Central Soya Rolpol Holding, a unit of French-Italian agro-industrial group Eridania Berghin-Say, has been given exclusive rights to negotiate the purchase of 24.5% shares of food group Rolimpex S.A. after the failure of talks with Danish company Danisco. Last year the Treasury Ministry invited three companies to bid. American Cargill and Dutch Nutreco were also on the list. The representatives from the Ministry emphasized the stake should be bought by an investor with large financial potential and solid experience in the feed industry. The choice of Central Soya Rolpol Holding seems to be reasonable, also because Central Soya and Rolimpex have been cooperating for many years. (Parkiet, page 1, Reuters) A.D.
