HJ Heinz Co says it has agreed to buy a Chinese food company that makes soy sauces and fermented bean curd for US$165 million.
Yesterday's deal for Foodstar would give the United States ketchup maker a bigger foothold in China, boosting sales in China by US$300 million a year.
The acquisition from the private equity firm Transpac Industrial Holdings Ltd also includes a possible extra payout in 2014 if Foodstar has strong performance as a Heinz brand.
Foodstar has about 2,500 employees in China and four manufacturing sites.
The deal still requires regulatory approval in China.
