Bunge Buys German Margarine Maker Walter Rau

Established in 1903, Rau, which has a turnover of 130 million euro, employs 280 staff at its sites in Kleve and Hilter.

This interconnection is intended to
integrate Rau into the complete value-generating chain 'from field to
product'. In times of dramatically increasing prices for raw
materials, against the background of continuously rising investments
in New Product Development and innovations, the merger prepares Rau
for future challenges. Furthermore it sustains the production site
location, promoting job security in the region, and permits dynamic
growth in local and European markets, Rau said.
