Mondelez International said Tuesday it will invest $370 million to acquire an 80 percent stake in the Kinh Do Corporation’s snacks business in Vietnam to accelerate the company’s growth strategy in Asia.
Kinh Do brands include Kinh Do mooncakes and biscuits, Cosy biscuits, Solite soft cakes and AFC crackers. Mondelez officials say these brands complement the company’s portfolio of iconic snacks brands in the region, including Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers and Cadbury chocolates.
