Friesland Foods to Sell Ice Cream and Milkshake Activities

From 31 December 2008 Friesland Foods Professional will transfer part of its sales and marketing activities for ice cream and milkshake mixes in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany to Briceland.

 Friesland
Foods Professional will continue the ice cream and milkshake mix
activities for international chains. Briceland will fully focus on
the sale, marketing and production of ice cream and milkshake mixes,
allowing it to quickly respond to market developments in this sector.
Throughout the year a team of specialised professionals will be ready
to support the company in its ice cream and milkshake operations.

Friesland Foods Professional is the operating company of Royal
Friesland Foods that concentrates on the production and sale of cream
products, butter specialties, ice cream and milkshake mixes, fillings
and desserts to bakers, fast-food chains, restaurants and catering
companies. The transfer of the ice cream and milkshake activities
will have no effect on employment at the Friesland Foods Professional
branches Nuenen and Lummen (Belgium).
