The Tata Group today announced its foray into the processed foods business with the completion of acquisition formalities of 70 per cent stake in the South-based Innovative Foods Limited (IFL) from the Amalgam Group. The Rs 16.5 crore Innovative posted a loss of Rs 4 crore in the last fiscal.
The acquisition, estimated at under Rs 20 crore, has been made through Residency Foods and Beverages Limited (RFBL), a subsidiary of Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL). The acquisition of Innovative Foods outlines our strategic intent for the processed foods business. We strongly believe in leveraging our in-house expertise within the group with our FMCG, F&B and retail businesses.
The company has a presence in the various food segments through group companies like Tata Tea, Tata Coffee and Tata Chemicals (Tata Salt). As part of its diversification plan, the Tata group through RFBL has recently entered into an exclusive agreement with Jasper Aqua Exports, a seafood company based in Vishakapatnam.
