CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 8, 2013–
Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) today announced that it has
completed the acquisition of Kelsen Group A/S, a producer of quality
baked snacks, including the Kjeldsens and Royal Dansk brands,
sold in 85 countries around the world. Based in Nørre Snede, Denmark,
Kelsen is a market leader in the assortment segment of the sweet
biscuits category in China and Hong Kong, where growth in sweet biscuits
is outpacing the growth of the $60 billion global sweet biscuits market.

Campbell will operate Kelsen as a standalone business, reporting to Luca
Mignini, President – Campbell International. Senior members of Kelsen’s
management team, including Brian Rønsholdt, CEO of Kelsen Group, will
continue to lead the business.

Mignini said, “We are excited to bring Kelsen’s talented team and
distinctive brands to Campbell. The acquisition of Kelsen, with its
strong brand awareness in China and Hong Kong, is an ideal complement to
Campbell’s global baked snack businesses and a platform for additional
growth for Campbell in key emerging markets.”
