Compass Group could make an acquisition in Brazil

Compass Group poderia adquirir no Brasil

Intel ID : 216834
Synopsis

The fight for leadership in the food services market in Brazil is increasingly fierce - a sector that apparently a dull sector, most of the time receives no attention, but it generates approximately BRL 17bn per year. Old rivals in Europe are France-based Sodexo and UK-based GRSA, they dispute each point of the market share, like someone would fight over a plate of food. The next move should come from the UK.

Compass, that holds GRSA, approved a BRL 400m investment until the end of 2015. Most of the investment will be used to build distribution centers, namely in North of Brazil. The Brits are also studying the possibility of acquisitions in Brazil.

É cada vez mais acirrado o duelo pela liderança do mercado brasileiro de refeições coletivas - um setor aparentemente sensabor, na maior parte do tempo à margem dos holofotes, mas que reparte entre os seus um banquete de aproximadamente BRL 17bi por ano. Velhas rivais na Europa, a francesa Sodexo e a inglesa GRSA disputam cada ponto de market share como quem briga por um prato de comida. O próximo movimento deve vir dos britânicos.

A Compass, controladora da GRSA, aprovou um investimento de BRL 400m até o fim de 2015. A maior parte dos recursos será destinada à construção de centros de distribuição, notadamente no Nordeste. Os ingleses também vêm garimpando possibilidades de aquisição no Brasil.
