He added: “For Nataïs, this is the guarantee of long-term access to European markets where it is the leader. This association offers us, in addition, the possibility of participating in the growth strategy for these markets through the many premium brands held by Intersnack in Europe. We remain a family company, while taking advantage of the international orientation that we are gaining through the Intersnack group.”
