   AGRANA expands: acquisition of Slovenian food company Mercator-Emba

   The food group AGRANA is bolstering its presence in Europe through the
   acquisition of Mercator-Emba d.o.o. (EMBA), a leading Slovenian food
   manufacturer for the food service sector, food processors and food
   retailers. EMBA excels due to its expertise in the product development and
   production of syrups and dessert toppings and ships its products mainly to
   Central, Southern and Eastern Europe.

   With its head offices located around 30 km south-west of Ljubljana, EMBA
   employs around 100 personnel and generated revenues of approximately € 30
   million in its 2024 financial year.

   The deal is subject to approval from the competent competition and
   regulatory authorities.

   “Acquiring Mercator-Emba gives AGRANA access to additional distribution
   markets and new customer segments in the growing food service sector. This
   fits perfectly into our portfolio as part of our NEXT LEVEL corporate
   strategy, in which profitable growth in the business unit Food & Beverage
   Solutions is a core element,” stresses AGRANA CEO Stephan Büttner.

   AGRANA operates in its business unit Food & Beverage Solutions 37
   production sites worldwide, of which 20 are located in Europe. These sites
   manufacture tailor-made formulations and customer-oriented solutions for
   dairies, the food service, ice cream, bakery products and beverage
   industries.
